ARE YOU READY TO DONATE YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS TO HELP FAMILIES FIGHTING CHILDHOOD CANCER?
Our thrift stores are always willing to accept new and gently used items. All donations are tax-deductible, and proceeds benefit children battling cancer and their families.
Donations are accepted from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Most donations are welcome through our Donation Door. Just ring the doorbell and someone will assist you. Larger items may be directed to the rear of the store.
If you have large items but are unable to drop them off, we may be able to provide pickups upon request. For pickups and deliveries, call (864) 436-8183.
We are unable to accept certain items. Items we cannot sell take up staff time, handling and disposal costs, taking time and resources away from our mission of helping children.
All donations must meet the guidelines at the bottom of this page.
