We extend our deepest gratitude to our donors for their remarkable generosity and unwavering support. This page is dedicated to providing detailed information about the types of clothing, books, and household goods we are able to pick up, ensuring that your donations make the most impactful contribution possible.

General Rules

- Loose items and open boxes/bags pose a safety hazard for our drivers so please, please, tie bags up and tape boxes shut.
- Bags and boxes that are not labeled “BB” will not be picked up; there are many incoming boxes from Amazon and other online shopping sites often placed near or on top of donations and we do not want to make a mistake, so please mark each bag and box.
- This ensures a contactless pickup for both our drivers and donors and that nothing is picked up on accident
- Please place your donations outside of your home before 7:30 AM on your scheduled pick-up date.
