It’s time to say out with the old and give new life to new or gently-used items you may not need.
In the spirit of decluttering, and removing items that don’t bring you joy, we’ve rounded up a list of 10 San Antonio organizations that accept donated items that help locals in need + support community causes.
For the large hauls
The San Antonio Humane Society accepts car donations to help provide funding for the care of the thousands of homeless animals in the Alamo City.
If you have a stove or other small appliances collecting dust in the garage, consider donating it to Habitat for Humanity.
The San Antonio Electronics and Computer Recycling Service provides free computer, laptop, monitor, and electronic equipment recycling — and yes, this is your sign to recycle the box as well.
Letting go of clothing
Maybe the kids grew up and are not playing with their favorite toys anymore. Give it new life by donating it to the Boysville Auxiliary Thrift Store. It accepts clothing, toys, housewares, and bed linens.
Remove Dad’s 1990s corporate suite and give it to Dress for Success San Antonio, an organization for those searching for careers.
Make a high schooler’s night magical by offering Project Prom your gently-used formal attire. Its mission is to provide formal wear to high school teens at no cost.
Household items
Did you know that 47% of US families do not have access to an adequate supply of diapers? Donate unused diapers or feminine hygiene products to Texas Diaper Bank.
The House of Neighborly Service in San Antonio is always looking for donations like non-perishable food items, basic kitchenware + books to make care packages for seniors and families.
For the arts
If you have unused party decorations or fine arts supplies, Spare Parts hosts donation sessions, but you have to schedule an appointment in advance.
