WHAT WE CAN and CANNOT ACCEPT

Items that simply do not sell are broken, chipped, cracked, damaged, dirty, odorous, scratched, worn-out, stained, torn, wet, moldy, rusty, frayed, disassembled or incomplete. Items that have spent numerous seasons exposed to pet hair or the elements. Items that have survived a month of garage sales. We are forced to haul items like these to the dump, which is costly and wasteful, and takes away funds from our quarterly disbursements to charities.

 Things we are specifically in need of:
  • Dressers
  • End table (especially matching)
  • Night Stands (especially matching)
  • Small Corner Tables
  • Desks (not computer)
  • Book shelves or book cases
  • Mirrors
  • Wheelchair walkers
We appreciate your generous donations and hope you will understand our limitations.  We can only take items in working order. When we need to go to the dump with donated items, it is costly which takes away from the funds that we would like to give to our charities.
