We donate to a thrift store in the next town over. The cool thing is that you can tell them what charitable organization you want the proceeds from the sale of your items to go to. We always donate in the name of the rescue that I volunteer for. :) Isn't that a neat thing?
Just wondering if anyone else has anything llike that in their area?
We donate lots of old items, but I have never heard of a program like you mentioned, Micki. How neat! We have 3 different organizations that accept all sorts of things like clothing, household appliances, furniture, books, knick knacks (sp?), etc. In fact, Scott and I spent all day Monday doing some much needed sorting in our garage (we had boxes from our move and combining of two households from almost 2 years ago that we had never opened!!). Since we had duplicates of so many things, we were able to take a truckload of things to Goodwill.
The shelter where I volunteer operates a thrift shop too. If I have usable items I take them there and they sell them to support the shelter. I get the tax write-off and they get the benefits - a win-win situation.
Yes I donate all my stuff to a local rescue ministry for the homeless and I give my used clothing to the abused women's shelter that they also run.
I donate all of our used clothing to our church's outreach for the poor. It is called The Lord's Clothes Tree. :) They only sell articles of clothing so household things go to a nearby place also for the poor called the St. Vincent Shop. :)
That's really cool you can tell them who you'd like to benefit, micki!
We donate to the Salvation Army. :)
I usually just take my stuff to the salvation army as well.

When we do our clean ups (once a year, at least) we donate everything. Our clothes, puppets, toys ect. I'm not sure where my parents bring them.. the salvation army and the YMCA or something? LOL not sure, but I do know we donate. :)
We donate to the Salvation Army, anything of use I always take there.
Yes!
I donate everything to a local thrift store here. It is run by an organization that helps mentally and physically handicapped people. And since I sometimes tend to have a bit of an over-shopping problem ... they get lots of donations from me! ;)
I always donate to Goodwill. Really, I think the tax write off is more beneficial then having a garage sale.
Usually I have a garage sale, as we need the money ourselves, but anything left over goes to charity, I try to donate to my fav charities, SPCA, Neurological foundation,Cancer society,Asthma foundation,Red cross and Salvation Army if I have any spare cash.
