Donations
WHEN YOU DONATE, YOU ARE CHANGING LIVES!
We do our best to make the donation process as simple as possible! You may bring items to donate at any time during our regular shopping hours. The donation area is conveniently located behind the building the building and has a separate entrance for easy access.
Items should be in clean and sell-able condition. Some items are subject to refusal. If we have to throw it away, it’s an expense to us and the charities we serve. Items that are broken, chipped, cracked, damaged, dirty, odorous, scratched, worn-out, stained, torn, wet, moldy, rusty, frayed, disassembled or incomplete DO NOT SELL. Items that have spent numerous seasons exposed to pet hair or the elements DO NOT SELL. Items that have survived a month of garage sales DO NOT SELL. We are forced to haul items like these to the dump, which is costly and wasteful, and takes away funds from our disbursements to charities.
