Great question! The idea of a "Donation Store" is just a fun way to represent the needs we have in our community for food, clothing, supplies, and other resources. The "store" works the same way as any of your favorite online retailers. Just place items you would like to purchase into your cart and then checkout using your debit/credit card. The difference is, YOU will not actually receive the items that you purchase. The purchase will become a donation to the Topeka Rescue Mission that will be used to purchase the items that are needed by those experiencing homelessness right here in Topeka. Everything on this website is a fundraising campaign for the Topeka Rescue Mission.
