VANS Shoes -Steve Van Doren, Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale and the Office of Constable Alan Rosen made possible shoe donations for all staff and clients at Santa Maria.
We are so grateful that you are interested in donating goods and provisions to our residents. Due to extremely limited space and our desire to efficiently distribute all that we receive, we are not able to accept donations except by appointment. We hope that you understand that we can only stock the most needed items, and those are very specific.
Thank you for your kind wishes and generosity. If you wish to schedule a donation delivery, please contact us before you come…..
