It’s springtime, which means it’s time to go through your garage and get rid of the clutter you allowed to build up during the winter. Why store items you no longer use? It’s much better for you and our community to give these items a new life and help another family who will put them to good use. Park City and the surrounding areas have several organizations that will accept your donations. If you are donating furniture, many offer pick-up.
Local Donation Drop-Off Options
Whether you’re donating clothing, furniture, household goods, or even building materials, your contributions will support local families, reduce waste, and help fund important community programs. Take a little time to declutter your home and donate to one of these fine organizations.
Christian Center of Park City
Christian Center of Park City (CCPC) has four thrift stores in the area: CCPC Boutique, CCPC Thrift, and Summit Exchange, which are in Park City, and CCPC Heber Valley. The proceeds from selling donated used items fund programs like food assistance, counseling and wellness, Native American outreach, and more.
ReStore
When you donate to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore in Park City, you are helping to divert waste from local landfills. When you shop at the ReStore, proceeds go toward supporting Habitat for Humanity’s affordable housing mission. It’s a win for all parties.
Recycle Utah
Recycle Utah accepts major recyclables as well as many hard-to-recycle items. Building materials, working appliances, doors, cabinets, lighting, plumbing, and good-condition housewares are also accepted to be resold at the warehouse thrift store. All purchases help support the operation of the center.
St. Lawrence
Although the St. Lawrence Thrift Store is located in Heber City, the donation center is right in Old Town, Park City. You can even schedule a pickup of your gently used items. This thrift store helps support many other charities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah, which provides children with mentorship relationships, offers two ways to donate: through one of its drop-off boxes or by scheduling a pickup. Drop boxes are located throughout town, including by the Treasure Mountain Middle School, Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, the Winter Sports School, Parley’s Park Elementary School, and Trailside Park.
Savers
Savers is a for-profit company that supports a variety of nonprofits by purchasing items from them. Savers promotes reusing items to reduce waste and landfill usage while paying nonprofits for donated goods and services. Savers has many locations throughout Utah, with the closest ones in Salt Lake.
Deseret Industries
Donating gently used items to Utah’s Deseret Industries (DI) in Salt Lake City contributes to job training for people in the community. The closest DI is in Sugar House on 2100 South, although they have locations throughout the state. Donations are accepted during open hours only.
Goodwill
With a few locations in Salt Lake City, Goodwill has been assisting people through a variety of employment placement services for 120 years. Your donation will go to support their efforts. The closest one to Park City is at 3300 South.
Toys for Tots
During the holiday season, you can donate unwrapped toys to Toys for Tots online or in Salt Lake City. There are other virtual services like Be An Elf, where you can answer real letters to Santa and send a gift in the mail.
Local Food Pantries
If you are looking to donate food, especially during the Thanksgiving and winter seasons, there are several food pantries in the area. In addition to the Christian Center mentioned above, which has food pantry locations in Heber and Park City, there is a Utah Community Action Services food bank in Kamas.
Whether you’re supporting local food banks, thrift stores, or nonprofit organizations, your generosity benefits both people in need and the environment. Give your unwanted items a second life through one of these great organizations.
