The Rescue Mission of Trenton is dedicated to helping needy men and women--especially the homeless--by providing them with shelter, food, clothing and counseling. Its Mission Store generates funds for the organization, plus provides a place to work for folks trying to get back on their feet. It also provides clothing, free of charge, to those in need.

You can donate adult and children's clothing in good condition, along with furniture, working appliances and outdoor furniture, among other items for the Mission Store. Best of all the Mission will come to you to take away your donated goods. To schedule a pick up, call 1-800-528-8825 or log onto the Mission's website to fill out an online form.
