Community Closet 207 is a Hancock County nonprofit providing low- and no-cost clothing and basic-needs items from its Ellsworth location. Its donation guidance accepts clean, smoke-free clothing, shoes and socks, maternity and baby items, jewelry and handbags, diapers, clean functioning toys, small housewares, camping and sporting goods, books and movies, school supplies, and new blankets and linens. Donations are to be brought to 330 Water Street during open hours. The organization specifically lists mattresses, appliances, televisions and electronics, exercise equipment, tools, furniture, paint and household chemicals, pet items, and food as unacceptable. This is a useful estate outlet for smaller clean personal and household goods rather than furniture or appliances.
