What items can

We accept?

It’s hard to say ‘no thank you’ to a donation, however, we do need to refuse some items due to potential safety concerns, being non-recyclable, containing hazardous materials, capacity issues, and/or items we are unable to resell. Additionally, we are unable to accept donations that have been recalled, banned or do not meet current safety standards.

Our staff is trained on what we can and cannot accept. For additional information, please contact us by calling (817) 921-2793 or emailing bgbstaff@safehaventc.org.

Thank you for your understanding!
