Donation Guidelines

Thank you for your generosity and support for our ministry. Here are some guidelines to make this service as efficient as possible.

  • PLEASE drop off donations ONLY during operating hours. 

    • Thursday & Friday 1pm-6pm, Saturday 11am-4pm​

  • DO NOT LEAVE DONATIONS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING

  • If you have a substantial donation (more than two-garbage-bags-sized donation), please call ahead (or text) to see if we have space, our storage capacity is very limited.

  • A simple guide to this process is "if I wouldn't be willing to buy it, even for $1, I probably shouldn't donate it to the Lost & Found." 

  • PSA: Donating smelly clothes, or your old, worn-out, sweat or food-stained clothing is not generous. It's insulting to customers and voucher recipients, inconsiderate to volunteers who spend hours sorting, and it's just gross. Send it to textile recycling or throw it out. GIVE WELL!

DO NOT DONATE:

  • stained or dirty clothing 

  • ripped or damaged clothing (unless it's "supposed" to be)

  • anything that smells like mold, cigarettes, or strong perfumes

  • strollers*

  • cribs*

  • car seats*

  • broken toys 

  • games/puzzles with missing pieces 

  • bedding

  • bed frames

  • mattresses

  • curtains

  • unpackaged tablecloths

  • large appliances

  • appliances with missing/broken pieces

  • upholstered furniture 

  • stuffed animals

*These items cannot legally be resold due to recalls and updated safety regulations.
