Donations to Youth Mart

To respect the dignity of the young people we serve, we only offer clean, odor-free items that are ready-to-use. Our goal is to set our clients up with all the essentials they need to live healthfully and autonomously in their first apartments. Due to limited space, we are unable to accept specialty or oversized items, however we are grateful for in-kind donations of all kinds of other household necessities, both new and secondhand. Photos of large items can be texted or emailed to us for review and pickup reservation, and we welcome messages to clarify if items are appropriate for donation if you are unsure.

Collaborative Agency Donations

We are proud to partner with Nebraska Diaper Bank and Access Period to provide consistent supplies of diapers and menstrual products to our clients. Donations of these items can be dropped at the Youth Mart and will be passed along to these agencies accordingly.

Items we CANNOT accept:

• Used socks or underwear - for the safety of our volunteers and staff, we must dispose of any boxes or bags that are found to contain used socks or underwear.

• Toys - due to space limitations we ask to only receive baby essentials, no toys or games

• Youth Clothing - we do not see school aged children in our shop, just young adults and their babies / toddlers

• Household Decor & Specialty Items - due to limited space we ask to keep donations limited to “essentials”

• Any materials that contain or reference weapons, illicit substances, alcohol, or illegal activity.
