About In-Kind Donations

Thanks to the in-kind donations we receive, UGM-TC is able to set up nearly 30 households a month! Individuals and families are given a “move out package,” containing essential items to establish their home such as pots and pans, dishes, cleaning supplies, and furniture. Occasionally, we must clean out our donation warehouse of the non-necessities to make room for new donations from our generous supporters. All donated items that are not able benefit our residents may be sold through our annual events or through our online market to raise money that goes directly towards programs at UGM-TC.

Donation Drop-Off

Starting 12/18/23, we will begin receiving donations at our new warehouse, located across the street from our Lancaster location. You can bring your donations to the warehouse Monday through Friday (9:00 am – 4:00 pm) at 2400 N Kentucky Avenue.

When our Residents move out of Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County and into their own small studio apartment, we furnish them with furniture, bedding kits, kitchen kits, wall art and other housewares that is needed to furnish an empty apartment for someone starting their new life. As a result, we do not take any items that cannot be used for those purposes. In addition, we provide clothing and shoes to Resident and Non-Residents on a daily basis.
