Took our old but still functional toaster oven that looked like hell warmed over down to Goodwill who eagerly received it. And for reasons more complicated than anybody wants to read here, I was able to watch two employees--people that probably wouldn't have been hired by anybody else--work on that old oven with love and care, cleaning out every corner, nook, and cranny, polishing all the surfaces, etc. until it looked great. I was tempted to buy it back.
But I was thinking how sad it would have been to have just ditched that old oven at the landfill and forgot about it. As it was, by donating it, two people were gainfully employed for a couple of hours, Goodwill will make something on it when they sell it a a low price to a low income family who need it, and that family will get a good looking, servicable toaster oven that they might not otherwise be able to afford.
When we donate useful items that we don't need any more, it is a win win proposition for everybody.
Not all participate in the program, but most thrift shops are happy to get even unusable discarded clothing and other cloth items. If they can't make them presentable enough to re-sell, they bundle it all up and ship it off to Mexico where they provide work for needy people who tear it into strips and weave it into mats and rugs.
We never know what a little bit of effort can do.

It's hard when you sponsor afar. I stick with the Menno's and their work because I know there is no skimming and they do hands on.
