My Sister’s Place Thrift Store & Donation Center (MSP)

Every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten in the United States. You can help fight the battle against domestic violence by patronizing or donating to My Sister’s Place (MSP) – a unique family thrift shop located in Ansonia, CT. Our shop offers quality new or “gently used” clothing, furniture, and household items to the public at discount prices. All proceeds support UCDVS programs.

There are several ways to help support My Sister’s Place and The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services. One way is to patronize our bright, well stocked store located at 380 Main Street in downtown Ansonia, CT. My Sister’s Place offers a large selection of high quality new and/or “gently used” family clothing and shoes, appliances, housewares, furniture, toys, and other items at discount prices and is a terrific outlet for bargains all year round. Whether you’re decorating a new apartment, dressing for a new job, or outfitting the kids for school, you’re sure to find what you need at My Sister’s Place.

Another way you can help support My Sister’s Place, and the fight against domestic violence, is to donate your new or gently used clothing, furniture*, and household items to our store. Whether you’re an individual or an organization, have just a few items or a whole truck load, My Sister’s Place welcomes any donation (as long as items are in good, salable condition).

My Sister’s Place no longer accepts donations of upholstered furniture, stuffed animals, or infant car seats due to health and safety risks.

MSP does not provide pick-up of furniture donations.

Corporations/businesses wishing to make a difference in the community by supporting the My Sister’s stores can take advantage of a unique and hassle-free donation opportunity – the My Sister’s Place Corporate Drop Bin Program.

My Sister’s Place Corporate Drop Bins collect large donations of clothing and household items from corporations/businesses and their interested employees via collection bins that the corporation/business agrees to host at one or more of their employee work sites. The bins are provided and set up free of charge by My Sister’s Place staff and are emptied on a regularly scheduled basis. All employers need do is encourage employees to utilize the bins to donate their unwanted, but good quality items to My Sister’s Place.

Corporations/businesses interested in participating in The My Sister’s Place Corporate Drop Bin Program should contact BHcare’s Development Office at (203) 736-2601.

A guide for putting a value on your tax deductions
Did you know that the federal law permits donors to claim tax deductions for contributions to My Sister’s Place? When you donate clothing and household items, you can place a value on those items and claim a tax deduction. The donated items must be in good or better condition. If you would be comfortable giving the items to a friend or neighbor, you can assume that they meet the qualification of being in good or better condition.

In order to claim a tax deduction, the U. S. Internal Revenue Services requires donors to value their items when filing their tax returns.
