Brightside Animal Center Thrift Store

Donation Guidelines

Updated: Feb. 17, 2022

The Brightside Animal Center Thrift Store accepts your donations and the revenue from the sale of those donations to help fund the many services and resources we provide to the animals that come into our shelter. Brightside is a high-save shelter focused on reducing pet homelessness and euthanasia, through adoption placement, foster care and spay and neuter services. Each animal that enters through our back receiving door deserves the chance to leave through our front door with a secure future. We gratefully accept gently used donations that can be sold in our store to support our mission.

All donations are tax deductible. Simply ask for a receipt and we will gladly provide one. If donating lots of items, we ask that you create an itemized list of everything you are donating. Employees at the store are not able to do so for you. Rather, they will give you a receipt that verifies that you donated items. Staple the receipt to your itemized list and retain for tax reporting purposes.

Donation can be made at our retail store at 838 NW 5th St. Redmond OR 97756. Please come through the donation gate on the north side of the store and an associate with help you unload your vehicle. We are open for donations Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays from 10-3. We are no longer taking large furniture through our drop off- we can schedule pick ups for larger items. Please call the store at 541-504-0101 to find a time that works.

Items that we CAN NOT accept:

  • Tvs older than 5 years
  • Computer monitors
  • Desktop printers
  • Building supplies
  • Paint
  • Chemicals
  • Infant toys, car seats, and furniture
  • Guns or ammunition
  • The remnants of garage sales
  • Large entertainment centers

This is not a complete list but covers some of the major items. We are limited on storage space. At any time based on our inventory we might have to turn away even the nicest of donations. We are always grateful for our community considering to donate to us.
