Circles of Giving – Donate your stuff and shop for free stuff
The next Circles of Giving event is Saturday, Oct. 24, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Valley Youth Center in West Duluth. It’s a recycling-minded shopping event where everything is free.
If you’ve got something useful you want to get rid of, someone will actually come to your home and pick it up for the purpose of giving it to someone who wants it. (Although it would obviously be easier for the organizers if you drop it off).
The flyer is hard to read when reduced to fit here, but it’s got a lot of info.
What happens to items that no one wants?
Will they accept books?
According to Roni Horak:
Some items that are donated but not claimed by anyone are donated to Bethany Crisis Shelter, Damiano Center or to various women’s shelters. Some are packaged and saved for the next Circles of Giving event. Things that are soiled or broken have to be thrown away.
They do accept books.
