What We’re Up To:
Call For Volunteers:
We're Moving!
It has come time for us to make a move once again. Within the next month, we are consolidating two of our locations into one larger warehouse. Now our sorting and volunteer center along with our warehouse will be in one location. Despite the difficulties of moving our entire inventory, we are excited for the opportunity to create more efficiency in our operations. This will be a chance for a great reset. Compared to past moves, we now have amazing staff, volunteers, and innovative software solutions to allow this move to be more streamlined.
We are asking for volunteers to help us make the transition and support our local community. Please email us at volunteers@machub.org if you'd like to sign up to assist us during this time. We welcome individuals, families, youth groups, community service groups, church groups, businesses, and anyone who would like to join us. Your service and support is greatly welcomed and appreciated during this busy time!
Join Us For Some Summer Fun!
Join us and our many great neighbors on 3rd Street in McMinnville Saturday, June 14th! We will be participating in Taste of Mac again this year to support the Lions Club. Stop by The Swedemom Store at 611 NE 3rd Street where we will have a $10 off your next purchase coupon with a Swedemom Store branded cookie made by Amity Bakery! We'll also be giving away free plants with any purchase donated to us by the Yamhill County Master Gardeners.
"Taste of Mac is a wonderful event, all centered around historic downtown McMinnville. Experience everything great about Third Street in a single day, flitting from shop to restaurant to pub to winery. Every participating business will give you a sip of one of their vintages, a taste of something on their menu, or a small trinket for you to enjoy."
Enjoy Summer on 3rd Street!
June 20th – September 1st, 2025!
Starting Friday at 3pm • Going to Sunday at Close
Starting each Friday afternoon during the summer season, our member shops, restaurants, tasting rooms, and beverage purveyors welcome you to experience one of Oregon’s all-time favorite main streets.
Check the calendar for weekly schedules that include live music, family-friendly activities, food and drink specials, and a variety of entertainment options.
Our Impact So Far in 2025
With consumption trends rising globally and resulting in overflowing donation centers, many pre-owned goods are destined to landfills. Our hope is to utilize powerful software solutions to efficiently convert donated goods into sales – giving pre-owned items another chance at life and in turn having the proceeds go right back into local communities through our nonprofit partnerships.
With your financial and material donations, we support students in school, individuals struggling with homelessness or lack of resources, elderly folks in care facilities, single parents, and more. We even pass along items to animal shelters! So far in 2025, we have been able to make 50 deliveries, totaling hundreds of items, to our nonprofit and in kind community partners by passing on your donations of clothing, furniture, kitchen appliances, bedding, towels, cooking supplies, books, school supplies, TVs, craft supplies, medical supplies, and so much more. We have donated to organizations like YCAP, Hope on the Hill, McMinnville Young Life House, Lions Club, First Baptist Church, Yamhill County Behavioral Health, Soles for Souls, the soup kitchen, Head Start of Yamhill County, Homeward Bound, Provoking Hope, Mac High Resource Room, Habitat for Humanity, Blanchet Farms, and more. Thank you for your contribution in our mission of community support and sustainability! Know that your donations truly are making a difference in our community and in the lives of struggling individuals.
