Compassion Place – Main Donation Center is part of Lutheran Mission Society of Maryland’s Compassion Place network. The organization accepts donated clothing and household goods, and its donation guidance directs donors with furniture or other heavy items to make an appointment. Donated items should be clean, usable, and appropriate for the program; acceptance can change with storage capacity, staffing, condition, safety rules, and current community needs.

The network redistributes physical necessities such as clothing and household goods through its community assistance ministry; location-specific donation hours and staffing vary. This gives executors and families another local outlet for reusable estate property that is not being distributed to beneficiaries or sold. Calling ahead is especially important for furniture, large loads, electronics, medical items, or mixed household contents. Save a trip! Call Compassion Place – Main Donation Center first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
