Compassion Connection Resource Center is a Minnesota donation resource in Sherburne County that accepts selected physical goods for its community programs. Current accepted or requested categories include coats, backpacks, school supplies, diapers, toiletries, pajamas, holiday gifts, clothing, shoes, bedding, baby items, formula, hygiene goods, and other currently requested family supplies. Item donations must be scheduled and dropped at the Resource Center; donations are not accepted at the organization’s boutique. This is not an unrestricted estate cleanout location, and item needs can change, so larger or unusual donations should be discussed with staff before delivery.

For executors and families sorting an estate, the program can provide a charitable destination for qualifying usable items that match current client or program needs. Reviewing the organization’s current guidance can prevent unnecessary transport of items it cannot use. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
