Your donations fuel our work

Your donations help us help others. Net proceeds from the sale of your donated items help support our job training and education programs, offered at no cost to people in the community.

We accept almost anything you can think of donating, from clothing and furniture to small appliances and toys. 

Items donated in good working condition will be thoroughly evaluated, and any existing data will be erased using certified technology tools. Items that can't be sold will be recycled in accordance with E-Cycle Washington's guidelines, which ensure that toxic materials stay out of our landfills.

Please be sure to check your local donation site for specific guidelines regarding the size of accepted donations at that location.
