DONATE AMERICAN GIRL DOLLS AND ACCESSORIES

Girl AGain is operated by Yes She Can Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to developing job skills for young women with autism. Our trainees develop essential skills for work while preparing merchandise for resale to customers who will cherish these classic dolls and accessories.  The donation of your American Girl collections has a triple benefit: (1) work skills, (2) affordable fun, and (3) tax deductions.

What to donate:

  • American Girl or Pleasant Company dolls:  Historic characters; Just Like You/My American Girl/Truly Me; Girl of the Year; Bitty Baby20150625_131420; Bitty Twins; Wellie Wishers – Kindly donate dolls in re-sellable condition (dolls that don’t have sharpie marks, bad haircuts, missing pieces)
  • American Girl or Pleasant Company doll outfits
  • American Girl or Pleasant Company accessories and furniture
  • American Girl books

Requests and what not to send:

  • AS OF JUNE 2022: Due to the limited storage space in our boutique, we are currently accepting American Girl Brand merchandise ONLY.
  • We DO NOT accept Build a Bear, Barbie, Madame Alexander, or display dolls. Please, NO human baby or children’s clothes, dirty socks, or dirty items.
  • If your cat sleeps in your doll beds, please wash the bedding (we have lots of allergies)
  • Please know that all the merchandise you donate is prepared by our Yes She Can trainees and our Girl AGain staff. There are some items we can fix and clean, but if the items you are donating are severely damaged (stains that don’t go out, broken pieces, scratches, etc.), we will not be able to resale them.  That means they have no value, and we have to throw them out.
  • Please DO NOT donate dolls or items covered in mold. This can cause health issues for the trainees and staff who are processing the donations.
  • If the merchandise is severely damaged, we will not be able to re-sell it.
  • Many donors like to see where their collection goes.  So please visit us at our store.  We welcome walk-in donations.
  • Include a note in the box with your contact information (name, address, email, and phone number) so that we can acknowledge your donation and provide a tax receipt.
  • Pack well – use bubble wrap or doll clothes to protect fragile items.
  • Shipping expense is also a donation and tax-deductible, so keep the receipt.

  • Masks are optional in the store

THANK YOU!

Our Store

American Girl Store Girl AGain opened in February 2014 to rave reviews from American Girl doll fans, their moms and especially their grandmas. You’ll find authentic gently used AG dolls, clothing, furniture, accessories and books that have been cleaned and prepared for sale at good prices in an easy-access store.

We also host in-store events such as American Girl book author readings, tea parties, and craft activities. Our most popular event is Girl AGain Doll Hair Do’s & Don’ts Workshop. Check here often to see what is scheduled.

You’ll find a selection of dolls: the original dolls from the historical periods as well as My American Girl, Bitty Baby and Bitty Twins. We have new and used outfits for all AG dolls, as well as their furniture and accessories. Our merchandise changes daily.

You’ll also find a great selection of new and used American Girl books. You don’t have to be a doll lover to enjoy the advice books like The Care and Keeping of You, and A Smart Girl’s Guide to Money.

Girl AGain is not affiliated with American Girl(r) company.

Yes She Can!

Did you know that 80% of adults with autism are unemployed? We created our boutique specifically to help develop transferable job skills for young women with autism. Our trainees at Girl AGain sort, clean and prepare the merchandise, price it, and display it in our shop. Our trainees learn about marketing, merchandising, retailing, customer service, and inventory acquisition in addition to appropriate workplace behavior, research, collaboration and decision-making. We have staff who manage our accounting (Quick Books) and our website (WordPress).

Our customers learn about the abilities of people with autism. And hopefully, our youngest shoppers learn about acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities.
