Donate at the Hub

We Value All Donations

The Hub accepts donations in many forms—and often in ways you wouldn’t expect. From picking up clothing at someone’s home, to coordinating full warehouse clear-outs, to receiving surplus from large corporate drives, we work with donations of every size and shape.

We have a simple saying: “Everything has a home—and your item is no different.”

Nothing that comes through our doors is ever sold. Every donation directly supports individuals, community organizations, and our charitable partners by reducing operating costs and increasing access to essentials. If we believe your item is better suited for a specific charity, partner, or program, we’ll be upfront—because the goal is always to do maximum good.

“Everything has a home – and your item is no different.”


There are Many Ways to Give

We value all donations to the Hub and we welcome your donation be it .

We value all donations:

  • Food
  • Clothing
  • Supplies and household goods
  • Kitchenwares and furniture
  • Financial donations

Working Together We All Benefit

 

 

1. Catering & Event Overstock

How You Can Donate:

Made too much food for a special event?
Send the remainder to us. We safely redistribute prepared catering items, packaged goods, and event surplus so they can be served to those who need it most.

Perfect for: restaurants, caterers, hotels, conferences, and production sets.

2. Business Closures & Liquidations

How You Can Donate:

If you’re closing a business—retail, hospitality, warehouse, office—we can help ensure your remaining inventory, equipment, or supplies are put to meaningful use.
From clothing and cleaning products to office supplies and small appliances, these donations go directly to local nonprofits and low-income households.

3. Dead Warehouse Stock

How You Can Donate:

  • Shelf-stable food
  • Clothing
  • Household goods
  • Hygiene supplies
  • Packaging
  • Misc. surplus

4. Estates

How You Can Donate:

We understand that losing a loved one is incredibly difficult. One overwhelming question families often face is:
“What do we do with all these belongings?”

We work gently and respectfully with families to receive estate items—clothing, household goods, mobility aids, decor, kitchenware, unopened food items, and more. We can arrange pick-ups when needed.
Your loved one’s belongings can’t go with them, but they can enrich the lives of others.

5. Seasonal or Spring Cleaning

How You Can Donate:

Cleaning out the closet? Refreshing your home?
Bring in your gently used clothing, household items, bedding, kitchenware, and small appliances.
Last season’s items can make an immediate impact on someone else’s life.

6. Corporate Drives

How You Can Donate:

Workplaces often run donation drives for food, clothes, hygiene items, winter gear, or emergency supplies.
We’ll help you set up the drive, pick up the items, and get them into the community fast.
Great for building team morale and community connection.
