Donate Books, Media, Puzzles & Games!

Each February, you’ll find over half a million books, media, games, puzzles and other treasures at the VNSA Book Sale.

And this is all thanks to people just like you!

drop box donation details

All VNSA drop boxes are painted beige with navy lettering on a yellow VNSA sign, and are located as close to a curb as possible.  Volunteers empty boxes every week. Here’s a map and list of all our drop box locations.

home pick-up request

Please fill out the Donation Pick Up Request form so that one of our member volunteers can contact you to arrange a home or office pick-up. We will make every effort to contact you within 24 to 48 hours. For small donations, our drop boxes are open.

If you have a question about the sale, visit our information page. If you have a question about the home pick-up you submitted, email us (for the quickest response!) or leave a message at 602-265-6805, and a volunteer will get back to you.

Individual donors will receive a receipt for donations at the time of pick-up. If you donated at a VNSA drop box, or the VNSA volunteer did not provide you with a receipt at the time of donation, click here for the Donation Receipt.

Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Internal Revenue Code places the responsibility for estimating the value of the items donated upon the donor, rather than the organization receiving the donation.
