Donation Reminders

​

We cannot accept donations of the following used items: car safety seats, toys, stuffed animals, bikes, VHS tapes, books, magazines, and large electronics. 

 

We kindly ask for no damaged or broken household furniture/supplies and expired food/hygiene products. 

 

If donating clothing, please limit your donation to 1 or 2 bags due to low storage space. Speak with staff if you are wanting to deliver large gently used furniture. If you have furniture or large household items, please call 605-886-4304. We may have a client requesting such items.

 

If you have a lot of items to donate please deliver them to Angel's Attic located in the Watertown Mall (1300 9th Ave SE, Watertown, SD 57201), and donate them in Beacon Center’s name.
