Make a Donation to the Special Olympics Bins!

What Type of Donations are Accepted?

Used textiles (clothes, curtains, towels, etc.), shoes, and books. Any condition - you can even donate that old shoe with the hole in it! The Special Olympics donation bins LOVE and ask for your "undesirable" items so they can repurpose them and keep helping our communities in addition to raising funds for the Special Olympics of Virginia.
