How to Donate:

Business/Non-Profit Donation?

Business/Non-Profit Donation?

  1. Pack your donation in a container that you are ready to part with. We cannot empty and return containers. 
  2. Make sure that your donations are clean (e.g. free of animal droppings, mildew, stains, dead bugs, bad smells, etc.).
  3. We will review the contents before accepting them to ensure we take the items. This process goes very quickly if you use bags, containers, or clips to organize your donation by category!
  4. If you cannot carry your donation in, please come in and a volunteer will give you directions to the loading dock and meet you there with a cart to unload. We cannot accept donations left unattended, so please do not unload without us there to accept.

Accepted Donations

We will update the file and website below as we need to reflect what we can and can't accept based on space and needs.
