Please note: The Sport Central office will be closed for the holidays from 12pm December 24th to January 4th. Until then, keep donating equipment…just not here!

Equipment We Accept For Donation

Donate your gently-used sports equipment or bicycles, for kids 4-17 years of age, so it can be refurbished and redistributed.
Sport Central accepts equipment for over 20 different sports. Please only donate equipment that is 10 years old or newer to help us provide safe gear when redistributing to the kids we serve. Thank you for helping us ensure every kid is ready to play!

Charitable Tax Receipts for Donated Equipment

Sport Central is unable to provide charitable tax receipts for used equipment and bicycles due to the volume we receive and difficulty in evaluating retail value. We can provide a tax receipt for equipment that is new and has a Bill of Sale showing the retail value of the item(s).
