Donating to Greendrop
GreenDrop operates staffed donation drop-off sites that benefit multiple nonprofit partners including the American Red Cross, the National Federation of the Blind, and the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Unlike unstaffed bins, GreenDrop locations have attendants who help you unload and provide a tax receipt on the spot.
GreenDrop is a for-profit company that acts as a collection agent for its nonprofit partners. The nonprofits receive funding based on the volume of donations collected. This model provides convenience for donors and steady revenue for partner charities that might not have the resources to run their own collection programs.
Dropping off at GreenDrop is quick. Drive up, hand your bags to the attendant, and get a receipt. Most sites are in shopping center parking lots and are open during regular business hours. GreenDrop primarily operates in the Mid-Atlantic states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
