THE CIRCLE OF ST PAUL'S

Donation Drive Thru events resume in November!

 

We resume accepting donations. Dates for Drive Thru Donation Drop-Off events are Saturdays November 9 2024 and in 2025: January 11, February 8, March 8 and April 12.

​

We greatly appreciate your generosity in donating new or gently used items to our rummage sales. Our Rummage sales have been a success since they started in the late 1920's because of the generosity of our donors, the organizational talents of Circle members and the hard work of all our volunteers. 

 

However, when we receive items that are not sellable, it costs us both dollars and volunteer hours, that could be better used to organize and staff our events, or to distribute funds to St Pauls and other local non profits.  We have developed a list of acceptable and unacceptable items, and drop off procedure guidelines to help make your donation process easy.

 

Please feel free to contact us direct with questions about specific items at Circle. If you have any items of furniture, or large and/or estate donations, do reach out to us at CircleEstate? Send us photos and dimensions of your furniture to give us an idea of your potential donation items.

​

What can I donate?

We gratefully accept everything from clothing and accessories to small household appliances, furniture, electronics, books, fine china, jewelry, art, holiday and other collectibles in new, excellent, good or gently used condition. 

 

Take a good look at everything you are planning to donate and consider whether you or anyone you know would be willing to buy it. If not, we probably cannot sell it. 

​

By pre-sorting, packing and labeling your donations using our guidelines, you help us save many hours of work by our members and volunteers. Thank you.

Volunteers at our monthly Donation Drive Thru Drop-Off events will have final discretion on what we can take. We may decline donations that we cannot sell.
