Community Clearinghouse
Hands that give sustenance.

The Community Clearinghouse connects individuals and families in need of basic living necessities with donated clothing, furniture, appliances, and other household items, free of cost.

As Oahu's central collection and distribution center for donated goods, the Community Clearing House provides more than thousands of low-income individuals and families with over several million dollars in goods every year.

As an integral part of its activities, the Community Clearinghouse conducts island-wide collection drives and coordinates with the Star-Bulletin Good Neighbor Fund and the Honolulu Advertiser Christmas Fund.

The donated items accepted by the Community Clearinghouse are passed on to nearly 70 local social service agencies and organizations that are registered with the Clearinghouse. These agencies then decide who can benefit most from the items. Opportunities also exist for participation in our Adopt-A-Family project, in which businesses, employee groups, social clubs, families and individuals can choose a specific family to help. Adopters are provided with details of family need, tragedy or circumstances.

Donations of clothing, household items and other gifts can be dropped off at the Community Clearinghouse, 2100 North Nimitz Highway.
