donation center

Giving drop-off spot

A donation center is a facility that accepts contributions of goods or blood.

Thrift stores operate donation centers where people drop off clothing, furniture, and household items: I took three bags of old clothes to the donation center.

Blood donation centers collect from volunteer donors for medical use.
