This year, we are doing our clothing drive a little bit earlier, so that you can get rid of all of those unwanted items as you change over your closets to get ready for next season. We're also pleased to inform you that we will be collecting household items & office supplies in addition to clothing, so that you can declutter more and help low-income children at the same time.
100% of all donations will help fund our Easter & Christmas deliveries, with registration starting in March & November. See details at the bottom of the page.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DONATIONS?
After we collect them from you or you drop them off at one of our centers, we sort through everything and then drop it off at Value Village, where they pay us by the pound for all the donations we deliver. Next, we use the funds to purchase items that are being delivered directly to our recipients. We are an entirely volunteer run organization, so none of the profits go towards salaries, renting trucks, storage units, rental spaces, etc.
