How to Donate to Freedom House Thrift Stores


Thank you for donating to Freedom House Thrift!

  • For Bridford Parkway and Battleground South locations, furniture must be brought in through the front door. 

We appreciate each donation, knowing that your donations directly contribute to the mission of Freedom House. We work diligently to be good stewards of the donations that we receive, to produce the most value for the Freedom House program.  Due to space and safety limitations, there are some items that we are not able to accept.

A few additional things

  • We are happy to provide you with tax receipts for your donations 
  • While we can accept clothing on hangers, we prefer hangers to be removed from hangers before donation, since we use our own hangers and will need to remove clothing from original hangers 
  • Please consider the weight of the boxes/bags of items that you donate. We have to carry many items in throughout the day and the heavier the bag/box they are carried in, the harder to move around where they need to go
