How to donate.

  • Community Drop off.

    Check out our Instagram & WhatsApp for regular community donation dropoff spots & timing. Scheduling regular drop locations helps us reduce volunteer legwork … and it’s a great chance to say hello!

  • Arrange drop off/pickup

    Can’t make a dropoff? Please contact us to arrange a drop-off or pick-up of your gear. Every little bit helps, and your contribution makes a tangible difference.

  • Bins!

    We’d be SO stoked to leave an attractive-looking dropoff bin at your school, club, office, church, business, etc. We can coordinate electronic or paper flyers to let your community know who we are and what we need!

  • Not sure?

    No sweat! Reach out! We’ll make it super easy and we so appreciate the donation. You can grab our gear volunteers at gear@onwardindustries.org
