Alternative Donation - Vision House

[Pages:4]Dear valued donor,

Due to COVID-19, we are currently forced to limit the number of donations we accept and may have to refuse certain items. On occasions where we reach storage capacity early in the day, we will stop accepting donations for that day and cannot make any exceptions. Please call 425-757-0848 before coming to the center to ensure we can receive your donation.

Note we are currently unable to accept any furniture items unless management has pre-approved them. (We will let you know when this changes.)

The safety of donors and staff is our highest priority. As such, we practice social distancing at all times and wear face masks when receiving donations, asking that donors also wear masks.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Know that we so appreciate your support!

Please see the attached list of other wonderful organizations that may be equipped to accept donations when we cannot.

Thank you for your continued care and partnership with Vision House families. We are so thankful for you, and look forward to seeing you soon!
