Material Donations Paused in August

We're feeling boxed-in! Due to space and staffing constraints, all material donations are paused for the month of August.

We will resume accepting up to 4 bags or boxes of items on Friday, September 5 from 12-4pm, as well as future Fridays and Saturdays thereafter from 12-4pm on non-sale weekends only. Please see our ⁠donation policy for more info. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Please note after we resume accepting material donations, we will continue to pause every third weekend of the month to coincide with our recurring monthly sales.
