Donation Drop Off in Baton Rouge – How You Can Help with the Purple Cow’s Mission:
• Bring your quality, gently used goods and furniture to a Purple Cow location during donation drop off hours. We are always especially in need of housewares and furniture.
• Make a monetary donation online at www.christianoutreachcenterbr.com or at any of our Purple Cow location.
• Tell all of your friends about the great items found at The Purple Cow! Your donated items could provide someone with hope!

What donation items we accept:

We accept quality, gently used items that are ready to sell. We accept all types of clothes donations, furniture (living room, dining room, bedroom, etc.), household items (dinnerware, pictures, china, other decorative items, seasonal items), jewelry, shoes, purses, etc. We don’t accept mattresses, large appliances, or items that might be subject to recall (i.e. car seats).

We do offer donation pickups for furniture ONLY.

The Purple Cow now offers THREE days of furniture pick up in the Greater Baton Rouge area! Got a couch that needs to go or some tables and chairs that need a new home? We’ll pick it up.

Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays – Just call (225) 751-3262 to set up a time for pick up!

We do not offer donation drop boxes at this time. Please pull around to the back of the store, knock on the door, and wait for one of our donation specialists to assist you.
We are not able to sell items that have stains, tears, or that smell. We are also not able to paint, stitch, fix, weld, etc. items; we simply don’t have the man power or time due to the number of donations we receive.
We only accept donations, which means we don’t sell items via consignment.

The Purple Cow is a thrift store with a mission. When you donate clothing, furniture, household items, (and more!) you are helping your local community. All of the proceeds from The Purple Cow go directly to The Christian Outreach Center of Baton Rouge.
