Donate to TRU Thrift Shop
Your tax deductible donations to our Boulder thrift shop are greatly appreciated and directly benefit children, teens, and adults in our community. Please bring donations through the donations door of the thrift shop and our staff will assist you. You can even donate furniture! Heavy items such as furniture donations can be delivered to the loading dock on the southwest side of the building. If you plan to donate furniture and drop it off yourself, please call ahead to TRU \Thrift Shop to make sure we’ll be able to use it.
