Where do you donate your unwanted items?

[cquick]

I have some bedding (king comfortor, pillow shams and brand new sheets). We are downsizing to queen sized beds.

Where is your favorite place to donate items like this? I also might have some small furniture too.

I went to the St. Timothy catholic church, but they don't have a thrift shop. Maybe another church in the area has a thrift shop?

On the last Thursday of every month, a truck comes to the parking lot of St Timothy's catholic church from 7 am to 11am. They take all of the above items and bring them to a thrift shop. They will give you a receipt for taxes if you want it.
Tomorrow morning they will be there.

I wonder why the lady at the office didn't say that to me. she just said NO! when I asked if they accepted donations for a thrift shop. she must have been having a non Christian morning....we all have them.

If you ever want to drive outside the 'complex', the Marion Co. Humane Society thrift store is in Ocala off of 441- I like to go there because all the profits go to the No-Kill shelter.

Another is the South Lake Animal Rescue League in Clermont. They are also a No-Kill shelter. We got our cat Puffy there 8 yrs ago. She was 5 yrs old at the time and abused.

Both will give you receipts for the IRS.

Marion County Humane Society has both a Thrift Store as well as a kennel. We have donated bedding for the "4-legged kids" to sleep on as well as items for their store. All proceeds goes back to the "kids" at the shelter which makes us feel good as animal lovers : )

Depending on what you donate, they may even come and pick-it up.

...........YUP....same phone lady WELCOMED us, also......

.....Lady on Phone said.....

(using the VOICE of the "spawn" of Mother Superior and Nurse Ratchet)

.........." Truck comes ONCE a month.....
.............we only want nice things--and they better be clean,
.............and don't be late......
.............box things nicely and use hangers for clothing".

.................then...CLICK.....no goodbye, no kiss my grits, nothing......

I figured since St Timothy IS the patron Saint of gastro-intestinal problems,
that perhaps she was overdue for a trip to the white porcelain throne.

Was going to call back and meekly ask :shrug: which day / what time
the Truck would be there........BUT........I got laughing :1rotfl: so hard.....
.........then the image of "Sister Demento" patroling :police: the halls .....
...................with ruler in hand :22yikes: .........filled my :shocked: mind.

That dear sweet lady was doing her best.. :eclipsee_gold_cup: ..God Bless her.
