PACA is a not-for-profit organization with 501 (c) 3 status. Any donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. PACA does not purchase salvage material or offer consignments. We depend on obtaining donations from remodeling projects, and acquiring salvage rights for buildings in the area. The profits from salvage sales were able to save the Nathan C. Ricker House at 612 West Green, Urbana, IL, provide significant funding that helped save the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum, and provide grants for historic preservation activities in east central Illinois.
We do not take any appliances, hollow core doors, storm windows, screens or modern plumbing fixtures. Please call 359-7222 first to check if we can accept your items. Do not leave donations outside the building. Our hours are Wednesday 4-7 and Saturday 9-12. We are located at 44 East Washington St., Champaign.
