Drop off guidelines

Donations are received M-F, 10am-1pm. Please drop off all donations in the alley behind the building, which is where our entrance is. The alley can be accessed from Flora Place.

If you need to set up a donation drop-off outside of those hours, please contact the office at 314-776-1410 and we will work with you to find another time.

Tax deductions

Gifts to Isaiah 58 Ministries are tax-deductible. When you donate, simply ask us for a receipt for tax purposes.
Gifts of food may also be eligible for the Missouri Food Pantry Tax Credit.

“Any taxpayer (individual, corporation, or trust) that makes a donation of cash or food supplies to a local food pantry, homeless shelter, or soup kitchen may receive a credit of up to $2,500 per taxpayer, per year. The taxpayer may take a credit of 50 percent of their donations.” More information about the tax credit.

Suggested Donation Lists

Bag of Blessings

Our calendar of regularly-requested items. Our Bag of Blessings list provides a monthly guide for churches, organizations, or individuals who are interested in contributing toward our primary needs. Each month includes a food item, a pantry essential item, a personal care item, and a cleaning supply item.

This year’s Bag of Blessings schedule.

Monthly shopping lists are often used as a worship bulletin insert or handout.

Clothing Needs

The Clothing Room has become a favorite spot for our guests, allowing them to shop cash-free for “like new” clothing once a month.

The room has clothing and shoes for children, women, and men that have been donated by our generous sponsors. Items should be clean and in a gently worn state (no stains, holes, or tears) and all sizes are needed.

Due to our lack of storage space and the desire to hang seasonable appropriate items, donated clothing should be wearable in the current season or the next season (ie: in winter we accept winter, in late winter we accept spring clothes, etc.). We do not carry adult pajamas or underwear.

There is a coat drive in November allowing a guest the opportunity to select a coat. The Clothing Room allows our guests the joy of a shopping trip for needed and desired clothes for themselves and family members.
