Donations

Assistance League of Long Beach member volunteers and two staff members run the Thrift & Vintage Shop, which is a large source of funds for Assistance League.  Donations are tax-deductible and are gratefully accepted.

Donation Guidelines and
Appointment Sign-Ups

We are a resale (not consignment) shop. Donations are deeply appreciated. Please bring your very gently used items to the Thrift & Vintage Shop.  We would prefer that you NOT give us items that have been loved to the point of retirement, that need to be run through a car wash, that have holes or are broken, or would make your great-grandma go “tsk tsk.”

Donations are accepted by appointment only at the donation center in the back.  To make an appointment, click Donation Appointment Signup button. We are unable to take any walk-in donations at this time.

We provide a receipt for you and your tax preparer.
