Donation Guidelines
Your stuff does more than you think.
Donated goods stock our Marketplace thrift store — and every sale funds the programs that feed our neighbors. Drop off your gently used items and put them back to work.
How your donation helps
Items you donate are sorted, priced, and sold in our Marketplace — Community Storehouse's on-site thrift store. Revenue from every sale goes directly back into funding our food programs, including Food for Kids, Home Delivery, and Client Choice. Donating stuff is donating food.
Shop the Marketplace or learn more about consigning items at our store.
