After 30 days, unclaimed items are donated to a local charity as appropriate. Perishable items such as food and personal care items are disposed of immediately. Every effort is made to contact the owner cards and IDs through email or call. To ensure items are safely returned to their owner we ask that claimants give a detailed account of their lost item and some form of identification.

For items that have yet to reach the Lost and Found hub you can create a Claim through the information desk either in person or over the phone with a detailed description of your item. With every new shipment of lost items we will review claims to see if they match any items we collect. Our team at the Davis Center is committed to returning lost property to its rightful owner.

To inquire about a lost item call the Davis Center at (802)-656-4636.
