Community Thrift is an independent and non-discriminatory non-profit establishment — when you donate with us you can pick your favorite charity and get a tax receipt! We accept donations on behalf of our charity partners, sell the items in our store, and then disburse the proceeds.
The donation door is open from 10am-5pm almost every day (check here for holiday hours.) It is located on the south side of the building on Sycamore Alley, parallel to 18th Street and perpendicular to Mission and Valencia Streets (Sycamore runs one way from Mission toward Valencia). Please take a look at our lists of Welcome Donations and Unacceptable Donations before bringing your items to the store.
Furniture pick-up is available in San Francisco Sunday through Thursday. Click here to fill out our furniture pick-up form to make your appointment.
Please review these guidelines for open donation drop-off hours:
Items should be in clean and sellable condition. Some items are subject to refusal. If we have to throw it away, it’s an expense to us and the charities we serve.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept everything. Items that are broken, chipped, cracked, damaged, dirty, odorous, scratched, worn-out, stained, torn, wet, moldy, rusty, frayed, disassembled or incomplete DO NOT SELL. Items that have spent numerous seasons exposed to pet hair or the elements DO NOT SELL. Items that have survived a month of garage sales DO NOT SELL. We are forced to haul items like these to the dump, which is costly and wasteful, and takes away funds from our quarterly disbursements to charities. There are also several specific items that we cannot accept for a variety of reasons.
Furniture pick-up is available in San Francisco by appointment Sunday through Thursday.
