7 Organizations Currently Accepting Donations
Covid-19 continues to change the world we live in, leading to staffing changes at many of the locations we frequent, including drop-off donation places. If Goodwill is your “go to” place after a purge (purging stuff not the Halloween kind of purge), you might have a hard time getting rid of those items you want to donate. Goodwill is only accepting items until 2 p.m. and even then the line is very long.
So we decided to revive and update an article we wrote last year about alternative donation places. If you know of another place, let us know!
