  • Recommendations for local charities?

    I also second the recommendation for CHIPS on 4th ave.

  • ISO donation center

    You can call Chips at 200 4th ave. I believe there’re a lot of women with kids there so your donations may be very helpful to them!

  • Good place to donate baby items?

    I have donated baby and maternity items to CHIPS on 4th Ave, a small homeless shelter that houses women and their infants/children too. They have specific drop off hours so I would just call first to make sure you don't arrive when their doors are open for lunch etc...

  • Re: ISO: food donation

    CHIPS on Berkeley and 4th Ave would be a good recipient.

  • Donations

    I would check with CHIPs Shelter on 4th Avenue. They may take the items.

  • Re: Place to donate baby clothes

    Try Chips on 4th avenue

  • Re: Where can I donate baby clothes?

    I've taken too-small baby clothes, diapers and some maternity and nursing items to CHiPS, at 4th Avenue and Sackett; they maintain a residency for homeless mothers and infants, and accept donations on Mondays and Tuesdays until 2 pm. (Reviewed May 2015)

  • Re: Where can I recycle linens?

    CHIPS takes donations of used linens for their shelter.
