Clackamas Women's Services (CWS) donors can now donate items not on our wish list at The Green Exchange (14001 SE McGloughlin Blvd., Milwaukie, OR 97267.) The Green Exchange will provide CWS with vouchers that participants can use to get the items they need.
Thanks to your generous donations, CWS is very well supplied with women's clothing, kitchen items, stuffed animals, picture frames, knick knacks/trinkets and household goods; please deliver these items to The Green Exchange (see above). Neither CWS or The Green Exchange is able to accept: used file cabinets without functioning lock and key, used cribs or other infant safety equipment like car seats (due to legal & safety issues), heavily worn linens or linens with holes, stains, etc.
