Lost and Found

  • Items that can contaminate other lost and found items are immediately discarded.
  • Most items are held for 14 days (see exclusions below), after which time they are donated to Goodwill or a similar organization.
  • Due to the large volume of inquiries we receive, we only respond if items are found.

For your privacy, we do not make unsolicited contact in attempt to identify owners of lost items. Please contact lostandfound@kripalu.org if you believe we may have your lost item.
