Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah accepts a wide variety of donations in Utah. Whether it’s a monetary donation or a physical item dropped off at one of our 158 donation locations across the state, each donation is an important contribution to our mission, helping to fund more than 350 of the 1300+ mentoring matches we support each year.

We accept the donations year-round, and sell them to Savers thrift stores. But you may be making room for new winter items in your own closet now that it is colder! Here are some ideas for what you can donate to help us and maybe make your own winter season feel a little warmer.
