Left Overs:
Who can I call about my left over items? One thing I just hate is wondering what will really happen to my old stuff. Will someone really get to use it that needs it? Will my old cloths just end up in some warehouse, auctioned off or shredded up for insulation.
Here are a few places I have found useful:
This is a retail consignment shop and all profits go to breast cancer research. The Hope Chest does pick up. They are an upper scale store and they are very picky on their items. You will receive a tax donation form for your items. They can also help you with finding places to donate your other left overs that they can not take. For more information visit their web site at: www.hopechest.us or call 651-642-2850.
This is an organization that helps people in desperate need including refugees, immigrants, victim of domestic abuse, natural disasters and the homeless. They will take furniture, beds, blankets, pillows, towels and other household essential items. Approx. 120 families a week are referred to Bridging. They will pick up larger items. For more information call 651-631-3255.
This is a women & childrens shelter located in Little Canada. They are always in the need of womens and childrens clothing, baby equipment, and shoes. You must call first to make arrangements. Margaret Ganje 651-482-7552
This can be a good place to sell some of your items that are in better condition or collectable. If you have a large amount of childrens clothing that is in great condition. I have seen a box full of name brand clothing sell for over $100. Setting up an ebay account is quick, easy and inexpensive.
