We always have small at home tasks. Ask if you can help us. THANKS so much. We so appreciate your donations. Recently, there have been days we can only take smaller loads. We have limited space and our amazing volunteers process as quickly as they can. Our motto for what we take, "Would you give it to a friend?" We do not accept mattresses, large fat- back televisions, printers, broken ap- pliances, books that have gotten wet, and tire chains. We receive items inside our porch area. We ask you to take items out of boxes, bags, tubs, etc. so they can be quickly sorted and sent to workers in the back. Clothing can be brought in on hangers if that works for you. Please do not leave items outside of the store before or after shopping hours. Call if special arrangements are needed. Thanks. Please watch our postings on Facebook for weekly sales and announcements.
