As you cleaned out your closets and garage for the New Year, you probably came across great stuff that you just don’t need anymore. Perhaps your next thought was to give these used items to Union Station Homeless Services. And while we are truly grateful that you thought of us, much like you, we have very little storage space.
Union Station will continue to accept donations of new toiletries, underwear, socks, shoes, and t-shirts. To see the complete list of items that we need, see the Wish List on our website.
Your gently used items will be gratefully accepted by many organizations, several of which will pick up your items by appointment. Here is a partial list:

Tomorrow, the day before their football teams do battle in the BCS Championship game, students from The University of Alabama (UA) are joining their counterparts from The University of Texas (UT) to feed homeless men, women and children here at Union Station Homeless Services.
Students from the UA and UT Student Government Associations will cook and serve approximately 300 meals on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010, at our Adult Center on Raymond Avenue.
The UA / UT SGA service project is part of our Community Meals program, which serves 186,000 meals per year to homeless and very-low income men, women and children in Pasadena. More than 150 community groups and 1,100 individuals volunteer at Union Station each year, doing everything from preparing meals to providing professional services such as legal counsel and medical screening.
