Unfortunately, our free donation pickup service is limited to clothing, shoes and small household items. Our collection trucks go out with just one person working on them so we aren't able to offer pickup service for any items, like furniture, that would require two people to lift. Our thrift store partner Savers is able to accept furniture donation drop-offs on our behalf at any of their local stores and they will provide one of our tax donation receipts.

Thank you for reaching out! Big Brothers Big Sisters is a youth development charity whose mission is to create and support one to one mentoring relationships for youth in our community by matching them with caring responsible adults. We collect donations of clothing and fabric items, and sell these items to outside parties in order to raise funds that support our mentoring programs. Thus we do not have items available to give away. If you are in need of assistance for clothing or other items, you may want to reach out to the united way support line at 2-1-1.
