Urgent appeal for used furniture!

[HenryBHough]

Thrift shops across America are under siege, unable to meet the sudden demand for used couches!

Donations are urgently needed. Please, if you have a used sofa or couch, full-length, no "love seats", contact your closest Salvation Army Store, Goodwill Shop or St. Vincent de Paul Society with your donation.

While any style is welcome, particularly are those which can reasonably be taken down cellar stairs.

The need is likely to peak in November - driven by "millennials" with urgent need to supplement the recliners and computer desks they have in their parents basements. Couches on which to lounge on election night if The Democrat Party fails to nominate Nutty Old Uncle Bernie. They wouldn't defect to any non-Marxist candidate and Mrs. Rodham-Clinton/Lewinsky has turned them off - particularly the females who don't want to face a future of kneeling under a desk for a living. Instead they'll stay home by the hundreds of thousands.

Don't doubt it for a moment!

Please call today to offer your donation!

A whole generation is depending on your generosity.

A lot of people depend on DAV, Goodwill, and other thrift type stores...

... to get back on their feet after a fire.

So whenever ya have any good used furniture ya wanna get rid of...

... think of these places first.

How did you get it in the doghouse?

Make sure you don't have bed bugs.
With our local Salvation Army, the pickups for large furniture have to be called in a week in advance.
There are also Purple Heart veteran charities that will pick up certain types of furniture.
For books and outdated computer monitors, Good Will accepted these at their drop off office.
Most have eliminated the night drop off to prevent dumping.
I know a public housing complex where the neighbors will use the space next to the
dumpster to unload free items, just move it there and people either claim it or the heavy trash pickup gets rid of it.
If you use Craigslist to sell or give items away, check with your local police; some of the stations started offering their parking lots for people to meet to do exchanges so it's safer. See if your locl police stations could offer that as a service to the community.
