Hey, is there a section just for latest news
Young Israel does not pickup in the Park Slope area and were quite rude in telling me so.
InWood House is not accepting in-kind donations right now per their website due to the administrative office moving.
I called St. John’s Family Place Center (07/18/08) to donate clothing/toys & was told they do not schedule pick up.
Young Israel only picks up in Flatbush, Midwood, and Brighton Beach. They won’t come to Park Slope, and they won’t allow me to drop stuff off.
Hi Karen,
Thanks for this very helpful information. I’ve been wanting to donate some of our nice(and some totally new!) baby things that we no longer use and have called several places but was surprised to find out that many places don’t seem to take/want donations. I just checked out Inwood House. They seem to be an ideal program and I would be thrilled to know that our things are going to young families in need. Thanks again!
