The donated equipment goes to schools, organizations, and programs that serve at-risk youth. Most equipment goes to programs in the Toledo area, but we will work with programs throughout the Northwest Ohio area.

The best way to keep up with who we are donating to, is to follow our social media accounts!

We accept used or new equipment. Most of our inventory comes from individual families donating gently used equipment. The programs that we work with will accept equipment of any age as long as it is in serviceable condition.

As a growing organization, we are always looking to best serve our beneficiaries. We ask that any equipment donated is properly cleaned/maintained.

Two options:

1. The UpLyft Team will pick the equipment up from you
2. You can drop off your equipment to the UpLyft storage location

To start the process, please head to our contact page to submit your information!

We greatly appreciate when individuals or groups volunteer to collect equipment for us because a majority of our donations come from individual donors!

To run an equipment collection drive, please send an email to UpLyft Toledo and a staff member will set up a phone call with you to figure out what materials you need along with the best places/times to collect.

Email UpLyft Toledo, and one of our staff members will respond with the perfect answer!
