Acts Thrift Store Donations Support our Families

Unfortunately, due to our storage capacity, there is a limited amount of used items we can accept. We recommend donating items we cannot accept to one of our partners, ACTS Thrift Store, in Pasadena. When you donate on behalf of Door of Hope, the families receive store credit and can shop for themselves.

ACTS Thrift Store in Pomona will accept furniture and pick it up. They want to make sure it is in reasonable condition, so they ask that you send pictures of what you want to donate before they agree to pick it up.  ACTS does pick-ups once a week, on Wednesday, so it may take a few weeks to get on their schedule for furniture pick-up. Please call (909) 491-3199 for more information. Again, please tell ACTS that you are donating on behalf of Door of Hope.
