What About Other Clothing Donations?

Meet CommunityAid

In order to keep staff focused on caring well for the needs of our campus guests and community neighbors, Water Street has partnered with thrift store experts – CommunityAid – to care for our guests’ clothing needs.  

When you donate new or gently used items to CommunityAid on behalf of Water Street, they donate a portion of the profits to us. Not only that, they also donate CommunityAid gift cards to our guests so they can shop for free! 

Just mention Water Street and our code, 40001, when donating to CommunityAid!
