Item Drop off
Your delivery of donated items would be greatly appreciated, as we don't always have the capacity for pick-up. Please contact jharrison@ioaging.org or call (415) 750-4180 x141 for drop off locations. Also, due to Health Code, we are unable to accept any food items or used bathroom equipment (i.e. commodes).
