Donation Guidelines
February 2026
At Mission 25, we are deeply grateful for the generosity of our community. Your donations directly support the daily needs of our residents and help us maintain a safe and welcoming environment.
We gladly welcome donations that directly support our pantry and daily operations, including:
- Quick meals (easy-prep items our residents can serve quickly)
- Frozen meat
- Paper products such as toilet paper, paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, and disposable plates
- Cleaning products like toilet bowl cleaner, dishwasher pods, laundry soap, disinfectant wipes
These items help us meet immediate needs and keep our pantry stocked for residents.
What We Do Not Accept
While we truly appreciate the thought behind every donation, Mission 25 does not have the storage space or facility capacity to accept clothing, toys, or furniture. To ensure your generosity still reaches those who need it most, we encourage donors to use the following community partners:
Residents of Mission 25 are able to volunteer and shop for clothing through our partners:
Donating clothing to these organizations directly supports our residents while giving them dignity, choice and the opportunity to shop with the whole community.
Please consider donating toys to local churches or local daycare centers. These organizations are equipped to distribute toys safely and appropriately to families in need.
For furniture donations, we recommend Mustard Seed of Fort Wayne. They specialize in furnishing homes for individuals and families transitioning out of crisis situations and can ensure your items are put to meaningful use.
Thank you for considering Mission 25 for your donations and for helping us care for our community with dignity, purpose and compassion.
Donations can be dropped off during business hours so a donation receipt can be handed to the donor. Donations left in the alcove may be discarded.
