Thank you for your interest in donating items to Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska!
ALL Lincoln item donations other than food are accepted at our new CSS Donation Center, located at 1300 N. 14th St. (please note: St. Louise Gift & Thrift Store is NO LONGER A DONATION DROP-OFF SITE). Click here for more information.
We accept food market donations at our Lincoln O St. offices. Click here for a list of most-needed items.
Please click here for specific details regarding dropping off items at our Auburn, Hastings, and Imperial regional thrift store locations, including hours and donation guidelines for each location.
Fabric and Clothing items only; any condition (clothes, belts, shoes, purses, drapes, bedding, blankets, sleeping bags, etc.) may be dropped off at our trailer/sustainability bin locations as well (click the name for location details via Google Maps):
- ECHO Collective (Lincoln)
- North American Martyrs (Lincoln)
- St. John Church (Lincoln)
- St. Wenceslaus (Wahoo)
- Ceresco location (coordinated with the Knights of Columbus St. Mary & St. Patrick Council, Davey)
We recycle unusable fabric and clothing items, including purses, belts, and shoes.
If you cannot drop off your clothing donations at one of the above trailers because it is gone or locked, please click here and contact us immediately (be sure to list the location and date/time of your attempt) so we can investigate the issue. Thank you!
If you need a receipt for a past donation, please click here.
To donate furniture and major appliances, we offer a dropoff and pickup service (varies by office location- see below for details).
LINCOLN
Our CSS Donation Center webpage lists:
- Items accepted and not accepted
- Links for scheduling your item drop-off or pick-up.
HASTINGS
To schedule a pickup of your furniture or larger items, please click here for our online screening form.
Important reminder: PLEASE DO NOT leave furniture outside our offices. Taking items to the landfill costs the agency funds we critically need to help clients. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
AUBURN
- To schedule a dropoff at our Auburn thrift store (furniture and larger items), please click here for the Auburn online form. We do NOT offer an Auburn pickup/delivery service at this time.
Please remember... we must pay to take unusable non-fabric and clothing items to the landfill (instead of using our funds to help the poor). Please do not leave donations outside our doors or fences after business hours.
Thank you sincerely for your generosity and giving spirit!
Donation Receipts are available for you to use for eligible tax deductions- ask for one at the time of donation.
