- Complete and functional – Please include pieces and parts to equipment, furniture, children’s games, toys, etc. This helps to ensure that all donations are functional and ready for immediate distribution in the shop.
- Please ensure that all items are bagged/boxed and ready for pick up

- If our driver needs to enter your home to retrieve heavy/large items, Newby-ginnings is not responsible for any damage to your home or business.
- Please bring donations to the Newby-ginnings shop during normal business hours. We will have volunteers ready to help you unload. Unfortunately, as we have no donation bin, we cannot accept donations left outside our facility outside of business hours.
