Donation Prep & FAQ Info

The Blessing Barns are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with small staff and volunteers dedicated to providing our neighbors with a sustainable way to repurpose their unneeded items while supporting local individuals and families in need. Here are some tips that can help us make the most of your donation:

 

Please Be Patient During Busy Times

We accept donations 3 days a week but some times are busier than others. Our staff and volunteers work to help all donors as quickly as possible, but if you stop by on a weekend please be prepared for a potential wait. Our donation driveway is also a ONE WAY with signage indicating where to drive. Please do not turn around in the lot so we can keep the road clear and safe for everyone. Friendly reminder, it is an honor for us work alongside friends with special needs and intellectual disabilities. Please be kind to all our staff and volunteers. We appreciate you!

 

Pre-Wash Please

We don’t have the resources to launder items, so please make sure your seasonal clothing donations are clean. Household items should be clean and undamaged as well. Items that are not in usable condition usually are not sellable.

 

Keep it Organized

Putting like items together can expedite the sorting process. Please take clothing off of hangers and bag or box clothing separately from household items.

 

Wrap it Up

We would hate for any fragile items to be damaged before they can find their new owner! Please wrap breakables as best as you can.

 

Tax Receipts – Consider What It’s Worth

Think about what value you would like to claim on your tax deduction receipt before you drop off if applicable. Many professionals estimate fair market value to be about 20%-30% of the item’s original price and condition. Age is also taken into consideration. We do not hand out blank tax receipts.
