America’s Thrift Stores donation center now open near Target off US-280

America’s Thrift Stores are preparing for spring cleaning season, now with a brand new donation center open right off Highway 280.

The donation center, located at 4505 Riverview Parkway, is one of five free-standing locations for people to donate their gently used items. It was designed for fast, drive-up service, making it easy to quickly drop off donations.
