I also will donate to Salvation Army and not others. When you look up where the money goes it goes to the charity for good and not the fat cat pockets. We have a lot of stuff. Some is in closets in boxes that I havent seen in years. I hate that but most of it is from past family members. I wonder if my kids will do the same and then their kids lol.
When I buy something from estate sales, be it sewing machines, or quilting items I also say a little prayer for the person it belonged to and hope they know it has a good home again. I admire those on here who dont have the emotional attachment to things.
