When you email to make an appointment we will send you the next available dates. Once you have an appointment booked we will send you directions to our warehouse.
Please double-check the list of what we can and cannot accept (posted below) before bringing things, or email love2thriftyukon@gmail.com if you aren't sure about something. We DO NOT have a dumpster at our warehouse and you will be asked to take away anything we can't accept.

What You Can Expect When You Donate
We have a warehouse location in Kulan (across from Porter Creek) where all donations need to go.
When you schedule an appointment by email we will give you directions to our warehouse. Our staff and volunteers are ONLY there during scheduled appointment times. To stay on good terms with our neighbours and landlords we cannot have people leaving donations outside the building.

For donation appointments at our warehouse or a pick-up, please email:
This is our busiest time of year for donation drop-offs, and because we were closed for 2 weeks in November, we still have a very full warehouse. If you can hang on to your donations until January, that is when we are going to need them.
We are unlikely to have any drop-off days at our store location until the new year.

Furniture & Special Situations
WCTS does not have room in our store for large furniture. Small furniture may be acceptable. Email us in advance (with a picture is best) to see if it is something we are able to accept.
If you are moving or have large amounts to donate please contact us well in advance (at least 2 weeks) to make special arrangements. We will do our best to accommodate you if space allows.
We can pick up donations from your home, but we need to know well in advance to coordinate with our volunteers and make sure we have enough space at our warehouse.
