Cancer Connection operates its Northampton nonprofit thrift shop using donated saleable goods to help fund free programs and services for people affected by cancer. Donations are accepted only during designated donation dates and times. The organization lists a number of exclusions, including mattresses, futons, large furniture, large appliances, microwaves, televisions and electronics, computer components and printers, most children’s toys, VHS tapes, stereo and camera equipment, hazardous materials, broken or dirty goods, infant equipment and several other difficult-to-handle categories.

For estate work, this location is most useful for smaller, clean and resale-ready personal property that meets current shop guidelines. Donors should not leave items outside when the store is closed.
