We welcome all offers of new or very gently-used items, but we reserve the right to refuse unsuitable donations. Drop by the store or contact us by telephone to see if your donation falls within our guidelines and meets our current needs.

Items donated to the ReStore are sold to the general public. We ask that all merchandise be in excellent condition, be 100% operable and be thoroughly cleaned. Items that are broken, scratched or in need of repair cannot be accepted, as we do not have the resources available to refurbish these items. If we are unable to accept your items, one of the other donation centers listed in the right-hand column of this page may be a good alternative.
