Get Help

If you, or someone you know, is looking for help, then we’re happy to direct you to our network of partners. Our focus is on gathering and sorting large numbers of new, or nearly new, items. We then give those items to our partners, who share them with the community.

You can think of us like a food bank; we’re not the final stopping place for the items which pass through our doors. We’re here to get those items where they need to go.

If you’re looking for assistance, then here are a few partners you can contact for direct support:
