For the second time in as many months, I have contacted the Salvation Army to make a donation. The first one was an entire family room of furniture ... a leather couch and matching loveseat, two ends tables and a coffee table.The loveseat had a small repair, so they would not take it. The couch had dust under the cushions, so they didn't take that. One end table had small scratches, so they didn't take either one. Yes, they took the coffee table. Today I scheduled a pick up for a dining room table with a leaf, and six chairs. It was all in great condition except for the bottom part of the table where the legs had been run into with a vacuum over the years. They refused to take the table, and without a table, they refused to take the chairs! Unbelievable. So much for trying to be a good person and help those in need. I was told by the pick-up team that if they take anything that the Salvation Army can't sell, and they do this three times, they are written up and fired. I was under the mistaken impression that the Salvation Army GAVE items to those in need. Needless to say, I will be contacting my church or other organizations that actually provide for those in need with items that may help them. It has been fine for my family, why can't it be fine for another??
