Hi Mary,

I couldn’t agree with you more! I much prefer donating to local charities where I know my donations will have immediate impact. After my father passed away, we searched for a local organization that could take his suits to help veterans looking for employment post-military. I kept onto my dads suits for years looking for a place until I finally gave up. I did end up giving them to our church who had a family who could use them, so that helps.

Thanks so much for writing in!

Have a wonderful day!

Lynn

I love St. Vincent de Paul and Habitat Restore! We have a Foster Care Closet near us. She gives items for Free to foster families and children, clothes, shoes, toys, books, furniture. She also sells some donations to keep the store open. Hopefully readers will see this and find their local Foster Care Closet! I feel so much better parting with things when I know they are going to a needy person! 💕

UGH! I hate to hear that. But even though it did not help you this time, think it is a great idea to call first. But man, they really let you down, didn’t they? It may be too late for you now, but do you have a Habitat for Humanity ReStore in your area? They seem to take most all lawn furniture and home furniture.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hugs,

Lynn

Calling first did not help we made THREE calls, drove 50 miles and returned hours later with 98% of the car, truck, and trailer still full, We then spent months delivering and donated items all around the area, rural, to individual churches.

I know you are having a blast making home! I can tell from just visiting and seeing your daughters’ room. But oh my, a yard sale is so cathartic! Maybe send dad away for a little vacay that weekend.

Hugs, Lynn

And you can bet there is more than enough stuff that needs to go. My plan of action will be to have a yard sale when the weather gets better and then to donate like crazy. But only when my dad is not looking cause he hates to get rid of his stuff.
