Your Donations Fund Local Charities

All of our stores operate in conjunction with local charity partners. Those organizations incorporate the clothing donation drive as just one way to further their message and create much needed funding for their programs. Your merchandise donations are necessary for the success of the program. Our charity partners sponsor free curb-side pickup programs, convenient drop boxes, and clothing drives within the community.

Tips on Donating

Useable donations are necessary for the success of the clothing donation program. This includes all clothing, shoes, bedding and linens in any condition as these items will either be placed for sale in one of our retail stores or recycled in one of many ways. Other items must be free of stains, holes, excessive wear-and-tear, missing or broken pieces and in good working order. Items should be packaged in cardboard boxes to avoid damage in transit and clothing may be placed into a cardboard box or bag with the top securely tied. Please note, trucks are not equipped with boxes or bags and require the donor to prepare the items for pickup and should the driver feel the item is not usable or is not accepted, may leave the item with a note attached.
