What Donations Can Be Dropped Off
Overview
At BGC Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton and Area, we are always overwhelmed with the generous donations we receive from our supporters. We recognize that donating clothing and household items is not only a way to help us but also a convenient way for donors to support their communities. That's why we ask all potential donors to simply follow a few easy rules when dropping off their donations to any Value Village or clothing drive event in the Greater Edmonton area.
Your donation will not only be helping us but also those in need in your community! Thank you!
For all other questions related to clothing donation, refer to our clothing donation page.
General Rules:
- All items must be placed in a bag or box.
- Do not donate loose items as they can be ruined and also pose a safety hazard.
