Hi Glory! Unfortunately Abby's House can only accept brand-new toys that are still wrapped/have their original packaging. I'd suggest trying Friendly House in Worcester to see if they're able to accept used toys.

Hi Jackie! Yes, we do accept women's clothing to our Thrift Shop. Due to temporary state guidelines in effect to protect the health of all MA residents, the Thrift Shop is only able to accept donations on the 2nd and 4th week of the month.

Abbeys only takes women. You can get Elder Affairs or Navicare to coordinate your care and living situation. You dont already have someone following you. VNA?? They will be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck

Hi Patricia, The building at 52 High Street was first Saint Joseph's Home for Women, and organization run by the Sisters of Mercy whose mission was to provide a safe place for women to stay who would otherwise be homeless. In 2001, Abby's House took over ownership of this building and our missions blended together - keeping this building a home for women who need it.
