Our School is greener than ever!

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Big Blue Truck of Northwest Center collects clothing and small household donations. Northwest Center is a nonprofit where all donations go to support kids with disabilities!

In 1967, Northwest Center launched The Big Blue Truck, and created an invaluable partnership with Value Village. Since then, we have been working together to promote Northwest Center's mission, recycled clothing and sustainability.
