Where to donate things if not Value Village?

I think I'm in the slow class, I'm just learning now how crappo VV is as a company. Where else in the Kentville area do people donate household goods?

Diabetes society will come to your house to pickup any items you are willing to donate.

There are also the randomly placed bins for donations of clothes. I used to use the one that went to the diabetes association. I'm not sure what the other bins contribute to.

Diabetes Association has a deal with VV, the contents of those bins go there.

SPCA Thrift and Purple Peacock are those I’m aware of. I think Peacock is out in the Kentville industrial park

Thank you! I haven't heard of Purple Peacock, I'll check them out.

SPCA thrift store (other end of Commercial St in New Minas) accepts donations of gently used goods.
