Where Do I Send My Stuff?

If you are an approved Magic Maker and you have finished wigs or character beanies to donate, you may ship them to whichever of our two donation locations is closest to you. We are NOT accepting pieces and parts (such as tiaras, starfish, or plain beanies unless you see them listed as a current need on our What We Need Wednesday post.)

⭐ Can I ship my packages via FedEx or UPS?

Unfortunately, no. Our P O Boxes can only accept packages shipped using USPS. Please work with your Post Office to find the most cost effective method. Depending on the size of your shipment, it may be Ground or a Flat Rate box.

 

⭐ What if I want to donate something other than finished wigs?

As we run low on any of particular items, specific requests will be posted on The Magic Yarn Project’s Facebook Page on “What We Need Wednesdays.” Please make sure you are following us on Facebook to see these requests as we share them!

Beyond individual wig & packaging parts and pieces, we always need more cut and bundled skeins of yarn for wig “hair.” You can find the list of yarns we need and instructions for how to cut it here. These finished cut bundles can always be sent to either of our donation locations.

Our organization is still run 100% by unpaid volunteers. We store our received donations in our own homes. Unsolicited in-kind donations will be lovingly passed on to other nonprofits.

 

⭐ What about my Chapter Leader’s needs?

If you are currently working with a local Chapter Leader, please stay in touch with her by email. You can see our full Chapter List list and their contact information here.

 

⭐ How do I become an approved Magic Maker?
