Although the Club gets absolutely nothing but kudos for the donations that we deliver, we always make sure that the agencies know that the items are coming from the DEMOCRATIC CLUB in PebbleCreek. Many members deliver their donations directly to the agencies. When that’s done, it’s appreciated if you would text me so we can add your donation (pounds or $$$) to our tally for that month. We’re rightfully proud of how we help our community!

All of the items that have been donated to us from PC residents have always been clean and in great shape. Thank-you! Occasionally we receive donations from elsewhere and those often require laundering before we donate them.

Dress for Success asks that the items that we take to them be ironed and on hangers. If you anticipate that your donation may go to Dress for Success AND if you have it on a hanger in your closet, it’s most helpful if you can bring the items to us on their hangers so they won’t have to be ironed again.
