Donate Other Large Items

Q: Can Wheeler pick up my donation?
A:Although we have before (and may again someday), at this time, Wheeler Mission does not offer a routine donation pick-up service. For unique items, or large quantities of particular items, we can offer a pick up service, but for the majority of appliances and furniture pieces, we must ask that you bring them to us. If you feel that your donation merits an exception to this policy, you may be right! Please e-mail Milton, or call him at (317) 635-3575

Q: Does it have to be like new?
A:No, but your items must be clean and in good condition. Please understand that malfunctioning appliances in no way help the poor and needy; neither does worn-out or torn furniture. We don't have the resources to fix or clean donations, and generally speaking, neither do the people we serve. Our donation sites are authorized to decline any donation that doesn't meet these minimal requirements.

Q: What does Wheeler accept?
A: Home furnishing and appliances in good condition, clean clothing, household items, toys and games, books and magazines, but also things like lawn & garden tools, charcoal grills, and some building supplies. Sometimes we accept commercial appliances and office furniture. Please e-mail Milton, or call him, or call her at 317-536-7522 if you have a question.
