Donate Goods

Learn How to Donate Goods

Your donations of new or like-new items become dollars that are reinvested to create opportunity, nourish our neighbors, and build community.

Our Donation Process

With a little preparation, you can help us turn your donated goods into community good.
Get started today:

Organizing donations

1. Quality Donations

Is it in excellent condition? Does it come from a smoke-free home? Would someone else find it useful or valuable? If yes, it would make a great donation! 

If you’re not sure, check out our list of acceptable donations. If we can’t accept your item, consider other locations that might.

2. Organize your Donations

Sorting your items by type (clothing, books, electronics, etc) and labeling your boxes/bags saves time for our team. The gift of your quality items, and your time to sort and send only your best, helps maximize the impact of your donation.

Sorting Donations
Pick Up

3. STORE DROP OFF

We accept donations at our store loading dock (just past our entrance) from 9am -12pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday ONLY. We cannot accept donation drop offs in the afternoons, on weekends, or when we are closed.

Free Pick Up

For small items one person can carry.

In order to offer this free service, we can only accept small items that are light enough for one person to easily lift and carry. If you have more than 10 bags of items, or anything that requires more than one person to move, please request a Furniture Pick Up.

Our driver will come anytime between the hours of 9am-2pm.  Please leave items outside and protected from the weather.

Furniture Pick Up

For larger items that require an additional person.

We welcome donated furniture and larger household items and offer a pick up service for a fee of $50. Furniture Pick Ups happen within a three hour window:

  • The 9am pick up appointment can occur anytime from 9am-12pm.
  • The 12pm pick up appointment can occur anytime from 12pm-3pm.

Please note that the driver will leave items that we cannot accept or are in poor condition.

High Value Items

If you have valuable items like watches, fine jewelry, handbags, designer clothing, or fine art, please contact our Research and Online Sales Specialist. Our specialist will determine the best place to sell your items – whether in-store or online – so we can extract the most cash value and reinvest those dollars back into our stores and community.
