Currently Accepted Equipment Donations
We appreciate all donations; however, due to the amount of donations we receive, and the amount of equipment requests we redistribute, we want to ensure that all equipment donated is in usable condition before it is redistributed to those in need.
Please consider the condition of the equipment before donating. We are currently accepting new and gently used equipment donations.
We do not accept equipment donations that:
- are expired, out of date, or unsafe for use (such as expired personal flotation devices, out-of-date goalie equipment, etc.)
- do not have a pair (such as single skates, single shin pads, etc.)
- are ripped, torn, or cracked
- are missing straps, buckles, snaps, etc.
- are odorous
- are excessively stained
- are dirty, moldy, or mildewy
Equipment in these conditions will be discarded immediately. Please consider recycling these items at your closest textile and other materials recycling depot.
Please read below for a list of equipment we are currently accepting.
