How Your Previously Loved Items Can Help Your Community
When you donate your gently used items or shop in our stores, you’re giving hope to homeless veterans, families, and individuals in your community.
Do you ever look at your closet and wonder how you accumulated so much stuff? Those shoes you wore once, the sweater that still has the tags, or the stack of books gathering dust on the shelf—all of these items hold the power to spark positive change. Donating once-loved belongings to VOA Thrift isn’t just about decluttering; it’s about transforming items you no longer need into opportunity for others. Make a resolution this year that helps you achieve your goals while helping your community thrive.
Your previously loved items will help:
- Veterans and individuals living with substance use disorders restore stability.
- Those experiencing homelessness or housing instability rebuild their lives.
- Individuals involved in the justice system and their families reclaim their future.
Ready to turn your closet cleanout into a cause that makes a difference? Here are a few tips to start the New Year helping others and yourself:
Tip #1: If you can’t remember the last time you wore it… or even considered wearing it…VOA Thrift will find a new home for it where it’s loved.
Tip #2: Set yourself up to feel good this year. If the size on the tag makes you stress, pass it on and worry less. Remember VOA Thrift will be there when you’re ready for something new!
Tip #3: Holding onto a gift from a family member that you know you’ll never wear? Donate it guilt-free because you’re changing lives.
