Donating
Looking to downsize? We accept donations and sometimes purchase various items that you may have normally thrown away. Your trash is a crafter's treasure. Items accepted are things like books, household items, craft supplies and more.
Donation List and Instructions
Our Mission: We specialize in saving items from heading to our landfills and give them a new purpose! Help us by donating rather than throwing it away.

How to Donate? You can place items in the brown crate next to our door at any time. The crate is located on the north side of the building next to our bay door.
How to Sell? Do you have items that you’re looking to sell? You can drop them off to be reviewed during store hours. We will take down your contact information at drop off. After reviewing, we will contact you with an offer that you can accept or decline.
