Alexandria House

Great place to volunteer and serve women and children in need.

Donated about 8 bags of clothes. I'm so glad i found Alexandria House. I have been through K-Town for years, and never even knew they were so close! I'll be happy to donate all my other new and gently used clothing in the future directly to them.

I recently did a “spring cleaning” and had a lot of clothes in excellent condition (some with tags) that were too big on me and kids clothing that my children wore a few times and outgrew. There were also some worn shoes, kids toys and books. I called around and confirmed that this place is currently accepting used donations. When we got there the lady took a glance at the box of shoes and said she couldn’t accept anything because of the condition. Admittedly the shoes were not super clean (since they’re shoes) but the clothing was all washed and in excellent condition. She didn’t bother looking thoroughly and rejected everything. We spent a lot of time coordinating this effort and going to DTLA from Marina del Rey only. It’s incredibly frustrating since some of the people there would’ve gotten a real wardrobe upgrade from the condition of clothing they had on. We found another nearby shelter that happily accepted everything, so all was not lost, but I wanted to share this unfortunate experience.
