📋 Donation Guidelines

By donating to Emmaria's Closet, you agree to the following:

✅ All donations must be in good, usable condition.

🛋️ Large Item Donations (Furniture & Home Goods)

We love that you want to give big! However, due to limited storage space, we are unable to physically store large items such as couches, chairs, lamps, tables, and other furniture.

Here's how we can still help: We will post your item on our website with photos and details so community members in need can see what's available. We will then coordinate directly between the donor and the recipient to arrange pickup — at no cost to either party.

To list a large item donation, please email us at emmariascloset@gmail.com with photos and a description of the item and we will get it posted for you! 💛
