DONATING IS AS EASY AS 1-2-3!
Donate, Receive a Tax Credit, Change Lives.
Do you have unwanted items in your house? The clothes you don’t wear anymore, those pots and pans taking up space in your cabinets, well, somebody wants to buy them, and that money will go directly to someone in need. We are a 100% non-profit store, which means the proceeds from our stores go directly to fund our critical social services programs in the community. Your thrift donations create opportunity for Michigan’s most vulnerable. To put it plainly, you make our work possible.
See below to find a thrift store donation center or drop box location near you.
100% of all thrift store proceeds support our critical social service programs in your community.
