DonatioNS

Donations are by appointment only! Please call 651-646-9697 to schedule an appointment, or visit our Calendly page.

We gladly accept donations of items that are new or gently used. Appointments are available during store hours, Tuesday-Saturday from 11am-5pm. If you have a large donation, please schedule to drop items off before 5pm. 

Please only donate clean items. We can’t accept items covered in pet hair or things that smell bad. We do not have a clothes washer or dryer to clean dirty things.

Please use consideration when donating! We understand that some wear and tear on secondhand items is to be expected, but please refrain from donating clothing and household items that are overly damaged/dirty/unusable. We have limited ability to clean and repair things and want to be able to provide quality items to our community.

If you do have clothing, shoes, softside luggage, stuffed animals, or other “soft” items that are ripped, torn, stained, have broken zippers, etc., please put those in separate bags and tell us about those bags when you drop off your donations! We give those items to another organization for upcycling/recycling.

**REMINDER**

To protect our groundwater and the environment, please don’t put batteries, or anything that uses batteries or has a power cord into your household trash.
