Accepted items at LISTEN Thrift Shops
At this time only the Lebanon Miracle Mile and Canaan locations are accepting donations.
What items can LISTEN accept?
Many items have a very positive impact on LISTEN's mission and help us provide support for the Upper Valley community. We appreciate donors not leaving items that should be otherwise disposed of. Unfortunately, LISTEN spends close to $100,000 every year in waste disposal fees, in part because of trash and unusable items that are donated. This is an extraordinary amount of money that could otherwise help house and feed more of our neighbors. Please view the lists below for items LISTEN accepts and does not accept.
PLEASE NOTE: We are accepting furniture drop-offs at our Lebanon donation center.
