We do not have storage space for large amounts of clothing. At this time we are not accepting clothing. We do like to keep emergency seasonal items on hand and will post updates when additional items are needed.
If you have nice business clothing to donate, please consider donating to Dress for Success. If you have clothing items you would like to donate we recommend the JCPS Clothing Assistance program, Goodwill, or Nearly New Shop. We refer guests to these locations for clothing as well as Calvary Episcopal Church, Schuhmann Clothing Closet, and Sanctuary Church: Mary's Community Closet.
We will send out an email when a need arises. If you are interested in being on our list please email us the size clothing you have available to donate@uplouisville.org.
Thank you for your support!
Volunteers are at the heart of our organization. They greet guests, file and pull mail, assist with laundry and shower supplies, and a variety of individual needs so that case managers can focus on connecting women to the vital resources they need to reclaim their lives.
These are our current volunteer opportunities:
Admin Volunteer (includes answering phones/taking message, among other administrative tasks)
Shelter Volunteer (assist with shelter tasks for clients: sorting & delivering mail, filling supplies orders, assisting with laundry and showers, etc.)
If you are interested in volunteering, or learning more about the different opportunities we have for you to be involved, please complete the application form.
