It is important that items are separated by Categories as they are paid at different rates!

Receipts for charitable donations in kind are available upon request.

We will provide labels to put on the bags and boxes.

There will be a truck in the parking lot, on Saturday, November 23, 2019, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., and any items brought at that time can be put directly into the truck. Delivery to the SAVERS store in Crestwood is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. that day. We need 1-2 volunteers to help unload the truck at the SAVERS store in Crestwood. Our appointment time there is at 2:00 p.m.

SAVERS is a resale shop, and the closest location is across from the former Crestwood Mall. They pay charitable organizations by the pound for donations. Items are then sold at their store, donated to local charities, or sent overseas to charities.

SAVERS is an ecologically responsible organization, and only a very small proportion of items donated go in a land fill. While we do not expect this program to be a huge fund raiser, some funds for St. Philip’s will be generated, with minimal effort, and it will provide a means for us to donate unused items and prevent them from going into a land fill. Receipts for documentation of charitable giving are available. This should be an inspiration to clean out those closets, and provide funds for St. Philip’s, that is a lot easier than a Rummage Sale!
