Big Blue Truck, a division of Seattle nonprofit
Northwest Center, is excited to announce the opening of a new donation site in West
Seattle. Beginning Saturday, August 3, 2024, community members can donate gently
used clothing, textiles, and small household goods at WaFd, 4102 California Ave SW,
98116.

The donation site will be open every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
“We are thrilled to return to West Seattle! The Big Blue Truck was a popular donation site
in the heart of West Seattle until Covid forced its closure in 2020. Now West Seattleites
once again have a convenient weekend drop-off location just steps from the heart of
Alaska Junction,” said Michael Scalzo, SVP of Operations at Big Blue Truck. “We are
passionate about collecting our community’s gently used clothing items to support
children and adults with disabilities. We believe being back in West Seattle will have
both a sustainable and mission-led impact on the community for generations to come.
A big thank you to our partners WaFd, Value Village, and PrintItForward.net for being
instrumental in our return to West Seattle!” said Tess Connor, Chief Growth &
Operating Officer at Northwest Center.

Donations made to Big Blue Truck support Northwest Center’s education and
employment programs for children and adults with disabilities. By donating, residents
not only help children and adults with disabilities but also promote environmental
sustainability through recycling and reusing goods.

Big Blue Truck welcomes donations of:

 Gently used clothing
 Shoes
 Books
 Textiles- including towels and sheets
