Are you doing some fall cleaning before winter hits? I know I have been doing so and that comes with a lot of purging and donating.

To be honest, I thought that stores like Goodwill accepted anything and everything but I recently learned that wasn't true!

That's why, if you're like me and doing some purging right now, you might want to look into what they won't accept and what they will before you make a donation.
