Donation Guidelines

POSH accepts a variety of new and gently-used fashions, accessories and footwear for women, men and children. High-end designer and couture items are preferable; however, we do accept all categories as long as they are received in a clean, saleable condition.

Tax deductions will be issued based on the donor's fair market value of their donation. By providing an itemized list with an estimated value, with your donation, the Lighthouse will issue an official acknowledgment for tax purposes. Please note that the IRS does require a professional appraisal for any contributions valued at $5000 or more.
