We are extending our donation drop off hours!!
I am reposting this friendly reminder as a refresher. We cannot express the importance of adhering to our policies enough.
We are extremely grateful for your generosity in your donations but please when donating make sure your items are NOT on hangers or in construction size bags, are “gently used”, free of pet hair, free of signs of mice keeping warm in it, as well as being mindful that you aren’t accidentally donating bags or boxes meant for the landfill. Refresh yourself on items we do not accept (listed below), and finally, please do not leave donations when the dock and store are closed, or ring the bell to convince us to accept your items. If we do that for one person we have to do it for all and that results in closing the donations again. Unfortunately we do not have the time or manpower to sort through and separate those items and get merchandise out for sale too.
As always, thank you for your patience and understanding.
Current drop off hours as of February 25, 2026:
Tuesdays and Wednesdays
9-1
Saturdays
10-1
