Textiles/Clothing Donations

Unfortunately the Y Thrift Shop can not accept stained/unusable items.
Our recycler re-processes the material.
Stained, torn, or extreme wear is not re-useable.
We are not aware of anyone who will take the items. (The one that we used to take "damaged material" - approximately 8 years ago - stopped due to prohibitive costs and lack of sources).
We do not know of any others who can take these items other than to be trashed.

Bipolar Ionization System

The YMCA at VT is proud to announce that it has increased its already stringent COVID-19 protocols at the Y Center Thrift Shop and Pottery Studio with a newly-installed HVAC ionization system - Nu-Calgon iWave-C bipolar ionization generators.

iWave-C is a self-cleaning, bi-polar ionization generator for actively treating a building’s air quality. In addition, the iWave-C produces and maintains unparalleled ionization output and capabilities. As the air flows past the iWave-C, the device emits positive and negative ions, creating a plamsa region that actively purifies the supply air, killing mold, bacteria and viruses in the coil and the space. The ionization process also reduces allergens and static electricity, without creating ozone or any harmful byproducts. Read more about Bipolar ionization at Business Insider HERE.

We are accepting donations at the back dock

  • In inclement weather please bring your donations to the front entrance and ask for assistance.
  • If the Thrift Shop is closed please do NOT leave your donations, we appreciate you bringing them to us during open dock hours as listed. Thanks

We are pleased to be able to offer pick up and delivery service once again.

Please call (540-552-2633) to schedule pick-ups.

We appreciate your continued support.
