Make an Impact: Donate Household Goods to Support Our Veterans

Donate GOODS

The very best way you can donate goods is through our partner, American Thrift Center, based in West Mifflin, Pa., and serving the Pittsburgh region. From time to time, we need furniture, recent-model office equipment (including computers), and software. We’d be happy to consider offers.


Why we don’t accept wheelchairs—usually
Our headquarters building in Sharpsburg, Pa., has plenty of space for many things, but not the many offers of equipment, including wheelchairs, that we receive. Also, there is the matter of transportation, particularly if pickup and later delivery are some distance from our building.


But we can list them in our bimonthly newsletter. If you are donating them, we can list your donated items at no charge. By placing a photo of the item with your contact information, potential donors can get a better idea of what is being offered and how far they (or you!) might have to go to get it. We will place the listing for free if it is a donation. If you wish to charge for the item(s), our ad rates are quite reasonable. Click here and scroll down to find recent copies of our newsletter, The Parascope, with the ad rates listed within.
