to sell them at the Center.

We do not have the resources to extensively clean, repair, or re-tool donated items.
Clothing and other fabric items need to be clean and free of rips, stains, tears, missing buttons, etc.
Please keep in mind–there are times, due to space restraints and safety, we must turn away donations.
We try to avoid this, but the safety of our volunteers is our utmost priority. We reserve the right to refuse donations at any time. Please pull around back for ALL donations and ring the bell; someone will assist you there. We cannot accept any kind of donation through the front door, as all donations must be weighed and logged. Receipts gladly supplied upon request!
*Due to limited space in our store, we ask that donors please sort through items and give us the “best of the best.”

The money we receive from these donations directly support the food pantry that serves the people in the Oregon Trail School District.
