OUR DONATION CENTER IS READY FOR YOU!

When and where to donate:

We welcome donations at both of our locations! For our Fairview Park store, the donation center is located just to the left of the main entrance. Our Brook Park donation center is located in the back of the plaza. We ask that large furniture items be donated to our Fairview Park location.

Donation centers are open Monday – Saturday from 10 am – 7:30 pm, and Sundays from noon – 5:30 pm. (Note: Donation Centers close 30 minutes before regular store hours. Please use main store entrances for donations arriving during the last 30 minutes of store operations. Mon-Sat 7:30-8:00pm and Sun 5:30-6:00pm.)

Have enough to fill a small box truck? Click The box below, and our donation team will reach out to you to confirm and discuss the details of your donation.

Your support is greatly appreciated, and together, we can make a positive impact.

Receipts  for your fully tax-deductible donations can be provided if delivered in-person at Common Threads during store hours. We cannot provide receipts for items left outside at the Donation Center after business hours.
