Cedar Chest Donation Center



With the success of our Cedar Chest Boutique thrift shops and the need to create more jobs, TARC created the Cedar Chest Donation Center and Donation Pick-Up Crews to help support the demands at the current Cedar Chest retail locations.

TARC appreciates the overwhelming support from our community. Thank you for your generous donations.

Cedar Chest Donation Center

Once receiving the donations from the community and donation crews, workers at the Cedar Chest Donation Center sort the donations into resellable items, salvage items, or nonusable items. This component provides meaningful work to individuals who have limited mobility.

An equally important benefit of this business unit is being able to recycle textile products. Millions of pounds of textile products are tossed into landfills across the United States each year. By re-wearing and reusing clothes we save precious natural resources, reduce pollution, and prevent the emission of climate-changing greenhouse gases. The raw material production and manufacturing of new clothes is a resource and energy-intensive process. So every item of clothing saved is a big benefit for the planet.

Hours: Monday-Friday 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Address: 1800 East Tunnel Blvd,  Houma, LA  70363

Cedar Chest Donation Crew

Every Monday-Friday, our Cedar Chest Donation Crews service Terrebonne Parish locations of Cedar Chest stores, TARC’s Donation Center, and the RED donation bins on a daily basis. Donations from the bins are delivered to the Donation Center as well as the Cedar Chest stores. Our Donation Crews also make prearranged residential and commercial pickups, then deliver these donations to a predetermined store or the Donation Center as space allows.

These crews also load all salvage bags (items that can’t be sold) into the salvage trailer, for which Cedar Chest receives payment from a third party vendor for the recycled poundage.

Cedar Chest Donation Bins

Our Cedar Chest Donation Bins are for clothing donations and will support employment for 31 individuals.
