Kalamazoo Area Donation Sites
So, you just cleaned out your basement, closet, books, or are downsizing furniture.... now what?? We curated a list of local organizations where you can donate your gently used items.

We started volunteering in the Kalamazoo community as kids. Giving back and serving the community is part of who we are. We will continue to add to this growing list; Please let us know if you know of a donation site to add. We hope that this list can be utilized as a resource.
