Donation Appointment Update
Donation appointments are no longer required at any of our locations. We’re excited to return to unscheduled donation drop-offs! Here are a few things to keep in mind as you donate:
- Donation hours may fluctuate as we adjust. Check yourstore location pagefor the most current donation hours.
- Donation centers may close early if they fill up or become overwhelmed with donations.
- To avoid waiting in long donation lines, consider donating at non-peak times, such as mornings or weekdays rather than weekends.
- To help accelerate the donation process for everyone, please organize your donations before arriving at the store, and pack your donations in boxes, bags, or containers that you don’t need returned.
- Please donate when the center is open. Leaving donations when the center is closed is illegal.
