Donations for our guests are gladly accepted at our main office and stores during business hours until one hour before closing. When items are dropped off at our main office location our guests are provided for immediately. Items not in need at that moment are then sent to New Lenox Treasure Chest because that store is our processing center where items are evaluated and sorted and prepared for storage for future use of our guests and/or sale. As new guests arrive at our shelter, if we do not have what they need at that moment, they are given a voucher to take to our Joliet store to get exactly what it is they do need. Transportation for our guests is provided if necessary.
Our priority service pick ups are managed through ReSupply, an independent veteran owned and operated company. The pick-up fee reflects operating costs and is much less than a typical moving company or junk hauler fee. (Pick up fee is not tax deductible, but donated items are.) Call ReSupply at 334-454-3936 to schedule.
• Pickups as soon as 2 business days (Mon-Sat), subject to time slot availability
• Can pick up from multiple floors
• Can disassemble furniture
• Items of ANY condition can be picked up
