   Transit passes, Hats, Coats, Gloves, Work/Employment Interview Clothes for both blue collar and white collar jobs (high need for larger men's sizes) deodorant, tooth paste, toothbrush, hand lotion, soap, sanitizer, shampoo, and wash cloths. A tote bag or duffel bag is always useful to carry items as many of our clients spend a good deal of time on the street. Amicus also has a wide variety of office supply needs, such as postage stamps, paper, folders, staplers, pens etc. If you have items you think might help us in our work, please call 612-348-8570 and we'll help arrange a convenient way to donate them.
