Dear Stephen,
Thank you for contacting Beauty & Hair!
Currently, we are not accepting wig donations. However, we would like to further assist you in getting these wigs donated.
There are many ways to donate gently used wigs. One great organization that takes donated wigs called EBeauty.com. After the wigs are donated, they are then restored and offered for free to women with cancer in the United States.
If you wish to donate a wig, the process is quite simple. There is a form for you to fill out and include in the package, and the wig must be packaged in plastic bags and bubble mailers to help with the sorting process once it is received, along with a $20 donation to cover any sorting, cleaning, and shipment to the future recipient. As this is a tax-deductible donation, if you want a tax receipt, all you need to do is attach a note in the package with your email address. It’s as simple as that.
Headquartered in DC, most of the drop-off locations are in the North East (DC, Maryland, and Virginia); but they also have some drop-offs in California. And don’t worry if you aren’t located nearby. You can also mail in your wig to the address listed here and on their website:
EBeauty.com
1350 Eye St. NW
Suite P-100
Washington, DC 20005
<ebeauty@ebeauty.com>
Also included on their website in relation to mailing and donating wigs is this statement: “If you do not live near any of our current drop-off locations, then do not hesitate to mail us your wigs. We are always here to take a wig for another woman in need. If you have any questions, please email Alex Brown at <Alex@EBeauty.com>
