Monetary Donations
Temporary Emergency Services is always in need of monetary donations. We provide many services to people in Tuscaloosa County and throughout West Alabama that require funds. Your donation goes to helping pay for members of our community to get driver’s licenses, birth certificates, gas for doctor’s appointments, utility assistance, medication refills, food, a hot shower, the ability to clean their clothes, and the ability to stay safe. This temporary assistance helps our clients survive the immediate crisis they are encountering.

Donate Goods
Donating to our Thrift Store is one of the best and easiest ways to help fund Temporary Emergency Services. When you donate your clean and gently used items, we sell those items in our Thrift Store to help raise funds to be able to support our programs. Review the different options below and reach out to us if you have any questions.
Stuff a Truck
If your business, church, or neighborhood would like to donate, we’ll bring our truck to your location and leave it for you to fill with donations. We can also bring our truck to estate sales, corporate events, or your location to pick up larger items. There’s no more convenient way to donate goods!
Drop Off
Items can also be donated at the TES donation center behind our Thrift Store any time. Attendants are onsite during Thrift Store hours for your assistants. If you are unable to be here when the store is open, that is not a problem. Leave your donations at the donation center and we will collect them the next time someone is here.
All donations are tax deductible. If you made a donation of goods to TES and need a donation receipt, please click the button below.
