SUPPORT OUR
NEIGHBORS IN NEED

In The Image's resources and programs remain absolutely free thanks to the incredible support
and generosity of our West Michigan Community!

DONATE ITEMS 

ITI DONATION CENTER

In The Image is dedicated to helping families in our very own community in a crisis situation. This might be due to homelessness, loss of job, natural disaster, and so many other difficult situations. Please keep in mind that all items go from your vehicle to the Free Store without being laundered. Donating items that are free of pet hair and odors is helpful in offering great options to our neighbors in need! 

​

We respect the families we serve and try to give them a dignified experience at ITI. To help make their house a home, please think of giving items in good condition, new or gently used. We are

unable to accept items that are broken, ripped, or soiled. â€‹
