Give Your Preloved Goods a Second Life with The Bower

Donate your household goods to the Bower! We’ll resell them back to the community at low cost, or get them to people in need via our House to Home program.

Items must be clean, in good working order, and something you’d proudly give to a friend or family member.

Damaged, broken, or heavily soiled items cannot be accepted.
