THE SAMARITAN INN

THRIFT STORE DONATION POLICY

 

New and gently used donations from the community are vital to Friends of the Inn Thrift Store and Thrift Store 2. Proceeds from the thrift stores help fund the programs and services provided by The Samaritan Inn. Residents of the Inn are also provided with vouchers to the thrift stores to purchase clothing and other personal items. Upon graduating, they receive furniture and household vouchers for their new place of residence.

 

Your cooperation is appreciated in following our donation policies and procedures:

 

•  Please DO NOT leave donations outside of the store before or after donation hours. These items are stolen, vandalized and exposed to the elements which cause them to be unsellable.

•  We appreciate your understanding that we may not be able to accept items that we deem unsafe or unsellable. Accepting these items requires us to incur disposal costs which directly impact funding for our much needed programs.

           Please review the list of items that we cannot accept:

 

·  Air conditioners
·  Carpeting/padding
·  Televisions manufactured prior to 2005
·  Dehumidifiers
·  Exercise equipment
·  Household paints/or hazardous materials
·  Furniture that is ripped, soiled or damaged or that needs extensive dismantling (such as bunk beds)

 

·  Large household appliances
·  Magazines 
·  Mattresses & box springs
·  Plumbing supplies
·  Swing sets & trampolines
·  Tires
·  Unframed mirrors
·  Dropdown, side rail cribs
