To ensure every donation has a meaningful impact, all items must be clean, complete, and in good condition. We are unable to accept items that are broken, stained, missing pieces, or not resale-ready.
Please note that acceptance may also depend on available space in the store. We appreciate your understanding as we work to make the most of every donation.
Not sure if your item qualifies? Reach out—we are happy to help.
