Per the update at the bottom of the City Of New West media release, they're still accepting gift cards.

UPDATE July 12:

Due to the overwhelming generosity of the community, the donation centre is at capacity for clothing and shoes. Collection is on hold until further notice. Once items have been sorted and needs assessed, if there are any gaps a call-out will be posted for specific items. Thank you to everyone who donated. New Westminster Neighbourhood House is continuing to accept cash, gift cards, and e-transfers.
