Shepherd's Gate Donations Center
Donation drop-off and resale of clothing and housewares, funding a Livermore shelter for women and children.
Acerca de
Shepherd's Gate Donations Center is the donations arm of Shepherd's Gate, a Christian long-term residential program in Livermore and Brentwood that helps women and children overcome abuse, addiction and homelessness. The chamber's record places it at 1362 Railroad Avenue, a block off First Street in downtown Livermore, where the organisation ran a drop-off centre in 2018. Its current website lists donations and resale at one place: the New Life Thrift Store at 4014 East Avenue, on the east side of town, with the drop-off driveway behind the store. Rosalia Chavez is listed as a manager.
Donating and shopping
The thrift store sells gently used clothing, shoes and accessories for women, men and children, along with housewares and small appliances. Proceeds fund the shelter's programs, and the store doubles as a job-training site and a clothing source for the women in the program. Donations are accepted at the driveway behind the East Avenue store during posted drop-off hours; the organisation asks for clean, working items and does not take used linens, used toys, mattresses, televisions or damaged furniture.
The store keeps regular retail hours six days a week and is closed on Sundays; the drop-off window is shorter than the shopping hours and closes early when the bay is full.
Before you load the car
Check the website for the current drop-off hours and the list of accepted items, since a full bay or a rainy day can shorten the window. Sort clothing by size and bag it, box housewares, and keep a list if you want a receipt for tax purposes; the organisation is a nonprofit, so ask staff for a donation receipt at drop-off. Large furniture should be described by phone first, since the store may not have room. Shoppers looking for something specific can call ahead and ask what has come in.
Tri-Valley donors and shoppers
Donations and customers come from Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville and Sunol, with Tracy over the Altamont and Fremont to the south-west. East Avenue runs parallel to Interstate 580 through Livermore's east side, and the Railroad Avenue address is downtown near the ACE train station.
The phone number on file is 925-606-1290; the store itself lists a separate line on shepherdsgate.org, so try that if this one does not reach anyone.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioWhich address do I use to donate?
The organisation's current website lists the New Life Thrift Store at 4014 East Avenue, Livermore, with drop-off behind the store. The Railroad Avenue address on file dates from an earlier donations centre; check shepherdsgate.org before driving.
Can I get a receipt for my donation?
Shepherd's Gate is a nonprofit, and thrift stores run by nonprofits typically hand out a blank or itemised receipt at drop-off. Ask the staff member who takes your items, and keep your own list of what you gave.
What will the store not accept?
The website lists used linens, used toys, mattresses, televisions and damaged furniture as items it cannot take. When in doubt about a large item, call before loading it.
Does the store pick up furniture?
Nothing on the website indicates a pick-up service, so plan to deliver items yourself and call first about anything large to be sure there is room.
