DONATE
When you cycle out the things that don’t serve you, you can make space for the things that do.
Thrift & Fund operates fully on donated items—that means gently used clothes, accessories, household goods, and home decor.

Why give?
We all have things in our life that we don’t need, whether that’s in the jungle of our cluttered closet or the depths of our kitchen junk drawer. But letting go doesn’t have to be an obstacle—it can be an opportunity to make a real impact.
Donating your gently used items breathes a second life into them, making what we wear and use more sustainable and eco-friendly. And if recycling weren’t reason enough to donate, every Thrift & Fund sale goes straight back to funding Low Entropy programs to support a kinder, caring, more compassionate world.
What does it mean to be gently used?
“Gently used” items are clean, functional, and ready for resale. Clothes and accessories should be undamaged without visible holes or wear, and items should be fully operational. Gentle wear and tear is acceptable, but we ask that all donated items be clean and without need of maintenance.
If you have any questions about what this looks like or what we’re looking for, visit our online store for examples or check out our donation checklist.

How can I give?
Bag up and drop off your donation in-person at our store Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, or give us a call, and we’ll come pick it up for you!
On-site instructions:
I’ll leave it to you guys to write these on-site instructions. Be sure to detail where donors should drop off their things, how they should prepare them (boxing them, bagging them, etc.), days and hours of operation, how they can receive a donation receipt, etc.
Pick-up instructions:
Same goes with these instructions. Who should they call, and how can they set up the pickup? How should they prepare their items? What is the radius of this service? How far will drivers travel?
