Spring Cleaning in the San Gabriel Valley? Here's Where Your Donations Can Change a Life

Spring has a way of making us look around and finally deal with the closet we've been avoiding since last fall. If you're tackling a spring clean in Pasadena, Pomona, or Duarte this season, you're probably asking the same question most people do: what do I actually do with all this stuff?

The answer is closer than you think.

Your Clutter Has Community Value

At ACTS Thrift Store, we believe one person's spring clean is another family's fresh start. The gently used clothes, furniture, kitchen goods, and household items that no longer serve you can directly serve families in need right here in the San Gabriel Valley. Every donation to ACTS goes toward supporting local nonprofits including Door of Hope, Pacific Lifeline, Inland Valley Hope Partners, and Hoving Home — organizations working every day to care for the homeless, veterans, and disadvantaged families in our backyard.

This isn't just decluttering. It's local giving with a real, traceable impact.

What You Can Donate

ACTS accepts a wide range of items that are commonly uncovered during a spring clean:

Clothing, shoes, and accessories for all ages. Furniture including sofas, chairs, dressers, and bed frames. Kitchen appliances, dishes, and cookware. Books, toys, and games. Electronics and e-waste — yes, that old TV or laptop counts.

If your item is gently used and in working condition, we want it.

Drop Off or Schedule a Free Pickup

ACTS makes donating as easy as possible. You can drop items directly at any of our three locations — Pasadena on North Altadena Drive, Pomona on East Foothill Boulevard, or our newest location in Duarte on East Huntington Drive. Prefer to stay home? Schedule a free donation pickup online and our drivers will come to you at a time that works for your schedule.

A Small Act, A Big Difference

One hundred percent of ACTS net proceeds go directly back into the community. When you donate this spring, you're not just clearing space in your home — you're funding services that feed families, shelter the homeless, and strengthen the neighborhoods you live in.
