Thrift Shop Donations

Your generous donations support our mission of providing food for our members.  Thank YOU!

Here's our guideline to help you understand what types of donations we accept:

"If it is something you wouldn't give to a friend as a gift, it doesn't belong in our thrift store."  Please check in with our cashier before bringing in your donation so our staff can assist you.  Occasionally we reach donation capacity, so it is often a good idea to call to make sure we have room to accept your donations.

Effective July 2022, we have reached capacity for clothing, so please hold on to them and we'll let you know when we have enough room to take more clothing donations.

We gratefully accept the following donations in plastic tubs, totes or plastic bags.  Please be sure they are clean, dry and in  working condition.

• Art & craft items, yarn, fabric, kits & crafting tools, organizers
