Nonprofit Needs Your Unwanted Jewelry

Clip earrings, broken bracelets, ill-fitting rings, cuff links with bad memories - St. Ann Center can use it all!

Clear out some space in your jewelry box! Are there pieces you never wear – not to your taste, out of style, broken or….? St. Ann Center for Intergenerational can use it all! We’ll take those clunky necklaces, broken bracelets, ill-fitting rings, clip-style earrings or pierced, cufflinks with bad memories, pins missing a rhinestone… vintage jewelry, costume jewelry – it will all help.

Our volunteers will sort it, clean it, repair or reinvent it, and price it to sell at one of our legendary sales. ALL proceeds fund the necessary health & wellness day services for our clients of all ages and abilities, from tiny infants to adults with severe disabilities to frail elders. Everybody wins -- your jewelry will find an appreciative new owner (even broken pieces and single earrings, which are packaged and sold in bulk to local artists and crafters for their projects), you’ll have less clutter, and our clients -- many of whom live below the poverty line – will have the services they need.

Drop pieces off at the front desk at 2801 E. Morgan Ave. anytime between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Or call Ross, (414) 977-5040, if you need items picked up. Thank you so much!
