Kitchenware for
Refugee Women's Alliance
We volunteered at ReWA and learned the huge need for dishes, pots, pans, Tupperware and more!
We collected over two carloads to bring to their community center. In just 18 hours, every item had a new home.
Care where your stuff goes
We partner with local non-profits, domestic recyclers, and community artists to give your stuff a new purpose.
Your old jeans can become a rug and the harmful chemicals in your batteries stay out of our tap water.

Our partners
Purposeful reuse
To give your stuff a new home, we partner with local organizations that can reuse these specific items to help you delightfully declutter your home.
New diapers for
WestSide Baby
WestSide Baby supports local underserved families with the resources and materials to raise happy and healthy children.
We collected over 30 boxes of unused, but loose, diapers to support their diaper bank.

Northwest Lions
We were inspired when a member came to us with ten pairs of her husband’s old eyeglasses.
We found Northwest Lions, an international group dedicated to providing for families at home and around the world. Our community provided over 350 pairs.
