Questions about Donating:
When do you accept donations?
We accept donations anytime we’re open! We are open and accepting donations Monday-Friday, 11am-7pm and Saturdays, 10am-8pm. Please do not drop off donations when we are closed, as we will not accept them.
Can I leave donations outside if you’re closed?
Please do not drop off donations when we are closed. All donations left after hours will be stolen or immediately discarded.
What kinds of donations do you take/not take?
All details regarding what we do/don’t take can be found here.
Do you have pick-up/delivery?
Unfortunately, we do not offer pick-up or delivery services at this time.
Can I request for you to call me if certain items are donated?
Due to the high volume of donations we receive, we do not currently have the ability to take requests or contact information for specific items.
Do you do consignment? Can I sell you my stuff?
As a charitable thrift store, we run solely on community donations. If we do not suit your needs, we would love for you to support fellow local businesses that do offer consignment.
Do staff/volunteers get “first pick of donations”?
We know these donations are given with the intent to sell to the Bay Ridge community. As a result, every donation must be processed and placed on the retail floor for a set amount of time before staff may purchase it. This gives our customers first priority in finding great deals!
