Donation Wish List

Donation Guidelines
We welcome all offers of new or very gently-used items, but we reserve the right to refuse unsuitable donations. Please contact us to see if your donation falls within our guidelines and meets our current needs. Items donated to NOLA Green Roots are used to complete job training with local youth, build new gardens and conduct general operations. We ask that all merchandise be in excellent condition, be 100% operable and be thoroughly cleaned. Items that are broken, scratched or in need of repair cannot be accepted, as we do not have the resources available to refurbish these items.
