Donation Centers Are Opening Up And Allowing Drop-Offs
If you are anything like me, nice weather means it’s time for Spring cleaning. Boy, do I have a TON of things I need to throw out, clean up, and most importantly, donate!
One of the first things on my mind with the statewide reopening plan in place was; when can I get to my favorite thrift stores and donation stations to unload my goodies?
I asked my friends on Facebook and put together a list of some locations in Greater Danbury you can head to, to drop off your items. Be sure to bring your mask and keep proper social distancing measures in mind.
