Book your slot.
Bring your
materials.
Drop off and done.
Pick the right appointment.
Bringing 3 bags or less? Book a Small Donation drop-off. Got more than that, like boxes, bins, or a full car load? Book a Large Donation drop-off instead.
Use our online scheduler to reserve your appointment window.
Pack up your clean, gently used, organized supplies and bring them in. Not sure if something qualifies? Check our accepted items list below.
Park in our gravel lot and check in at the donation table. Staff can help you unload, or bring it right in yourself. We'll give it a quick once-over and send it off to find its next creative home.
