There are two ways to donate:
Please be aware that although we take many items, we are unable to take everything that is offered to us. We appreciate your support and cooperation.
- Drop it Off
- Our donation center is open Tues-Sat from 9AM to 3PM.
- We ask that you do not drop off items when the donation center is closed. Items that are unsellable result in unnecessary costs for handling and disposal.
- We'll Pick it Up
- You can call us at 814-353-9081 to schedule a pick-up day. Our scheduler will pre-qualify your donation and provide you with a date for the pick-up.
- To expedite your donation process and help us avoid unnecessary costs, kindly provide photos of the items you wish to donate. You can upload photos on our website or text them to 814-404-5474 for pre-approval.
Material Donations
We gratefully accept donations of clean, working, functional, sellable, and safe items. Unfortunately, we cannot accept items that show evidence of mold, mildew, bugs, pet damage, scratches, or chew marks.
If you reside in certain areas of Centre County and are unable to transport your used furniture to our store in Bellefonte, we can arrange for our delivery truck to pick up your item. Our staff is trained to handle your donation items with care and can assist with removing items from your house. We also provide donation forms during pickup.
Even for items listed as "Accepted with Conditions," we reserve the right to refuse donations due to condition, size, or storage limitations.
Final determination of donation acceptance is made by:
- Truck Supervisor – when donations are picked up
- Donation Attendant – when dropped off at donation center
Claim your tax deduction! Donated items are tax deductible. Simply ask for a tax receipt from the CentrePeace employee who assists you at the time of your drop-off or pick-up. The IRS may deny a deduction for any item with minimal monetary value. For help in assessing the value of your donated items, please consult your tax advisor.
