Please Consider our Volunteers…

We love our volunteers! That’s why we kindly ask that you consider them when packing your donations. While we greatly appreciate any and all donations, Please consider the size and weight of your donation boxes before dropping them at your local store. In general, we ask that donation boxes be kept below 30LBS (14KG). As always, we thank you for your generous donations and ongoing support!

Update on Donations

We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our community and the numerous donations we have been receiving over the past several months. As a result we are experiencing a backlog in processing items and will be limiting accepting donations while we work to get items onto the floor in our stores.

Please visit the donations page for details about how, when and where we are currently accepting donations. As always, we appreciate your support and look forward to resuming regular donations as soon as possible.

Thrift shops for NOVA is managed entirely by our dedicated group of volunteers. If you are interested in joining our team, please visit the volunteer page for more details!

See you soon!
