How to donate goods:

1) Stop by Hidden Treasures Thrift Store during regular business hours to drop off items.  We prefer that you go to the back of the store and ring the doorbell.  But,coming through the front doors is fine too if you have a small amount of items.   Thank you!

2)  Stop by Masterworks during regular business hours 8:00 am - 4:00 pm to drop off any goods.  No appointment necessary.  Masterworks is located at 1121 South 7th Street in Minneapolis.  Other than during a donation drive at BBC, please do not take donations directly to Bethlehem's campuses.  Map to Masterworks.

Because we are a not-for-profit organization, we will issue tax-deductible receipts for your donations if you wish.  Thank you for donating!!

Please keep in mind the quality and resale value of the goods you are donating.  If you are unable to sell an item at a garage or rummage sale, we probably won't be able to sell that item either.  We appreciate any donations but cannot accept items that will fill up our dumpsters! 

See our  Donation Valuation Guide for help on determining what the value of your donation is.  According to the IRS, you are responsible for saving the receipt we give you at the time of your donation drop-off or pick-up and for determining the value of your goods.  The Donation Valuation Guide below can be used to help you in this.
