DONATIONS

It would be impossible to list every item because often times the most exciting items are things we did not even know existed.

   

  All donations must be clean, readily usable, free of animal hair, tangles, odors, stains, mold, mildew, water damage, dust, dirt, and sticky residue.  Please package sharp items appropriately to prevent injury. Glue sticks and bottles, paints, and similar liquids should be at least 1/2 full, still flowing and viable.

    

If there is something you think lends itself to tinkering or any questions about your items please contact us, if we can’t take it, we might know another place that can.
