Items that fit into your vehicle can be delivered to our donation door during store hours. We may be able to pick up your larger items in our truck for free.
Fine items will be sold online or at auction to earn the highest possible return. Read more about donating listed artwork, antique furniture and lighting, china, silver and other collectibles.
Donate, don’t dispose of slow-moving inventory! Join our other supporters to avoid the costs of warehousing and insuring excess inventory, as well as the expense of trash disposal and hauling.
We welcome all offers of new or very gently-used items, but we reserve the right to refuse unsuitable donations.

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.
