One source of NCC's funding is through the resale of donated goods. We accept donations of household goods and clothing and solicit these donations through various marketing approaches. We raise money for our programs by selling the donated goods through contractual agreements with qualified retailers. NCC does not own the retail stores that sell the goods.

Preparing Your Donations for Pick-Up

Please place your donations out by 8:00 am on the morning of the scheduled pick-up. The driver will look for your donation from the street. Label bags "National Children's Center" or "NCC" and ensure they are clearly visible from the street. If you have a long driveway, please bring the donations to the end of the driveway.

Please note that the drivers will not enter houses, go to the back of houses or drive up a long driveway to collect donations. Large furniture and other large items cannot be accepted.

Tax Deductions

The driver will leave a donation receipt at the time the donations are picked-up. It is the donor's responsibility to determine the value of the donated items.
