Move-Out Program Updates:

*New: Updated August 14th, 2024

Dear LCS Supporters,

We will update this page on a by-request basis as we have guests scheduled to move out of the shelter and into their new homes. Due to limited storage space and staff/volunteer availability, we can only accept furniture donations when we put out a specific request. Check this page regularly for by-request updates! Currently, we are only accepting furniture donations listed below. Drop off or pick up appointments of large furniture must be scheduled in advance, and small household items on this list can be dropped off at LCS between 8 AM – 5 PM unless otherwise scheduled. All items must be clean, in good working condition, and ready to use.

At this time, we are unable to pick up donations. We can only accept drop off donations.

CURRENT NEEDS:

• 1 Queen size bed frame
• 3 Loveseats or recliners

ALWAYS ACCEPTING:

• Sets of Bath Towels & Washcloths
• Twin-size sets of bed sheets
• Lightweight blankets

Move-out day is the most exciting time for someone staying at our shelter, and your support makes a huge difference in helping someone’s new place truly feel like home! Thank you so much for your patience and ongoing support while we work on building our move-out program back up!!

Sincerely,

LCS Staff

December 5, 2023 (Farewell to our longtime move-out coordinators!)

It is with a heavy heart, but also with deep gratitude for the past eight years, that we announce the suspension of the Move-Out Program.

The program may recommence, possibly in a modified form, in the coming months. Please check back.

The program’s mission has been to accept donations from members of the community and to work with case managers at LCS and partner agencies in order to provide basic furniture to individuals and families exiting homelessness within Douglas County.

Since its founding in October 2015, the Move-Out Program has accepted countless donations and brought furniture to approximately 525 households.

To our donors, to case managers at LCS and our partner agencies, to the other volunteers who joined us along the way (especially Will and Hazlett), and to all the individuals and families who have worked so hard to exit homelessness, we are eternally grateful.

The Move-Out Team,
Laura and Dan
