I have some stuff that is in pretty good shape but we don't need anymore. Is that used furniture place on 2818 by the post office worth trying? If I don't sell it I may donate it. What are the best options in town besides Goodwill? Thanks.

I understand the desire to donate elsewhere than Goodwill. However, I have tried more than once to donate high-quality clothes and other goods to Twin City Mission.
Every time, I have had to hunt someone down. Then they have had to ask someone else if what I was donating is ok. Then it took forever to get a receipt.
At Goodwill, I'm in and out in 3 minutes with a receipt. If Twin Cities doesn't want my stuff enough to get me out the door in less than 25 minutes, I have to assume they really don't want my stuff.
(And by "stuff", I mean a combination of gently-used tools, a mixture of used-but-freshly-washed and brand new clothes, and furniture nicer than most college kids have these days.)
you do realize that TC has a donation place thats PHYSICALLY attached to Quality Furniture.... (the used furniture store on 2818...)iisanaggie said:nought said:

I agree that they need to rethink some things. The few times I have been, the store has extremely cramped and disorganized. For clothes, they won't let you try things on, and they don't take returns. I keep forgetting about the used furniture store on 2818 so I will try to remember them next time.
