Donation Criteria

 We want donations that are nice enough that other people would like to use them. If you'd be embarrassed to see them in someone else's house we probably can't sell them. Items need to be in good condition, not necessarily perfect condition. We do not do repair work.

We may not accept certain donations at a given time due to an oversupply in the store. Our phone message at 217-0130 will have the most current information on this, as will the donation truck driver or in-store receiving person.
