CEAP / Turning Leaf Thrift Store is a verified Minnesota food, essentials and clothing donation center accepting food, hygiene items, household supplies, baby supplies, and new or gently used clothing at its Brooklyn Center location. Donated goods should generally be clean, usable, safe, and suitable for the organization’s resale or charitable distribution program. Item categories, condition requirements, seasonal limits, furniture approval rules, and available donation capacity may vary, so executors should review the organization’s current guidance before loading or transporting a large estate donation.

This resource may be useful for estates with reusable personal property that beneficiaries do not wish to retain and that fits the organization’s acceptance criteria. CEAP accepts in-kind food, hygiene and household goods at its Brooklyn Center facility; its Turning Leaf Thrift Store at the same address also accepts new and gently used clothing. Items outside the published guidelines may be declined. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
