Renew Crew - Gently Used Items

In 1996, innovative members of our Board of Directors met with Savers, Inc. and together launched one the first non-profit social ventures in Kamloops.  This partnership helps to stimulate demand for gently used clothing and household goods.  In turn, Savers recycling program supports Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kamloops & Region's mentoring programs, the environment, and national and international people in need.

Through a combination of home pick-ups, on-site clothing bins for drop-offs, and targeted community clothing drives, the Donation Center creates a sustained source of revenue for the vital social service activities of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kamloops & Region.

Renew Crew

Donated clothing and household items collected by our Renew Crew is sold by weight to Value Village, turning your donations into critical funding that supports our programs, or on occasion, may be used for agency purposes.

Value Village

When we reuse and recycle responsibly, the people and the planet benefit in exponential ways.  Value Village calls it The Savers Cycle, and it's how they've done business for almost 60 years.  Value Village is one of the largest recyclers of used goods in the world, saving more than 600 million pounds of quality merchandise from landfills each year.

Value village partners with local non-profit organizations who collect donated clothing and household items.  These donated goods are sorted and the highest quality reusable items are value priced and sold.  The items that don't sell are shipped to developing nations through both wholesale and philanthropic efforts.

Over the past 10 years, Value Village has paid over 140 non-profit partners $1.5 billion which helps fund community programs and services.  All funds raised stay within the local communities.
