DONATION INFORMATION

Drop your donations off Monday – Friday from 9 AM – 4 PM and Saturday from 9 AM – 3 PM at our Blue Ash Facility (11083 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash, Ohio 45242).

All donations must be verified by a staff member at the time of drop off in order to qualify for service hours. Donations made at a remote donation bin location do not qualify for service hours. Be sure to get your service hour form signed by a Matthew 25: Ministries staff member while dropping off your donation. Please note that food and clothing donations do not qualify towards court-ordered community service hours.
