FAQ: Donations
Q: What can I donate? Are there items you won't accept?
A: If you have clothing, toys or baby gear that you or your kids have outgrown (or just don't use anymore), you can donate them to our event. We accept good quality children's, women's and men's clothing, children's toys and baby gear. We do not accept electronics, expired car seats, trashy household items or anything that you wouldn't be willing to take home with you.
Please sort your clothing donations into these categories and put them in a marked bag--a permanent marker on a plastic grocery bag works well!

Gifts of the Heart Exchange--Minnesota style!
Be part of an amazing community event by donating your gently used
clothing, toys and baby gear to a community give-away to be held
on February 2, 2013 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint's Anoka Stake Center (4700 Edinbrook Terrace, Brooklyn Park, MN).
Accepting donations from now until February 1, 2013! The new year often means out with the old and in with the new, but instead of donating your "old" to the thrift store, consider donating to this incredible event that can bless the lives of so many. Think of it as a free garage sale--people come with nothing and leave with much-needed items.
We need lots of volunteers! If you would like to collect donations, sort clothes and/or help with publicity, please contact Claire at mngiftsoftheheart@gmail.com.
