We Want Your "Stuff"
Before you toss anything, ask yourself, “Could Upscale Rummage find a new home for this? Would someone else enjoy wearing, displaying, or using this? Give your things another chance at life.
Good Condition = Dignified Experience
Please read the list of items we no longer accept below.
If you are donating items that you can deliver yourself, come to our main entrance during store hours, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There are shopping carts in the lot for this purpose. Please let us know you’ve left your things and ask the cashier for a tax receipt.
Smaller items should be transported in boxes or bags—no need to wrap items individually. Please do not tie large bags in knots (so we may reuse them).

Donating Your Much-Needed Dollars!
Monetary donations go towards rent, utilities, supplies, Gas, maintenance of our Truck, warehouse, delivery, support staff, and marketing needs. Donating to Upscale Rummage, as opposed to directly to our beneficiaries, keeps the mission alive to:
- Support many more who are in need
- Support those who would not receive support otherwise
- Provide affordable goods to your community
- Keep millions of pounds of excess out of landfills
Donating Your Much Needed Time!
Volunteers are the heart of our organization. We have something for everyone! The schedule can be flexible.
Minimum of three hours a week.
