Before you load the truck
What we can sell, and what we can’t.
Rule of thumb: if you would hand it to a neighbour without apologising for it, we can probably sell it. Where we have to say no, the reason is written above the list — so you can judge the odd item we have not thought of.
Drop-off is Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, before 2 PM, at the orange tables at the back of 510 N Broadway.

Worn-out towels and blankets: bring those too
Bath towels, sheets and blankets too rough for the sales floor are exactly what the kennels go through fastest. Tell the volunteer at the door they are for the shelter and they will go straight there instead of onto a rack.
Not sure about something? Call (870) 623-9964 first. We would far rather answer a question than have you haul the same load twice. Call ahead for a full carload as well — two volunteers and a back room can only take in so much at once, and the volunteer on the door has the last word on any item.
