As part of an ongoing bed bug prevention program, and due to space limitations the shelter is not able to accept used clothing, used bedding or used bath towels and wash cloth donations of any kind. These items may be taken to Kiwanis (665-0450), Salvation Army (332-3474), St. Vincent DePaul (761-1400) or Ann Arbor Thrift Shop (662-6771). These organizations have processes in place to prevent the spread of bedbugs.
