Non-Profit Spotlight: Vietnam Veterans of America Pickup Please

Pickup Please, the donation program run by the Vietnam Veterans of America, might be the easiest pick-up service around. Scheduling is done online via a simple-to-navigate website. Once a date is selected and confirmed, items can be placed outside the home for worry-free pickup. (They pick up rain or shine!) Donations are tax deductible, and the driver will leave a signed and dated tax receipt. While heavy furniture items, like sofas and dining tables are not accepted, smaller items, like chairs and accent tables can be placed with other household items for donation. (Policy states they only accept items that are small and light enough for one person to carry.) Items that are donated are then sold in order to raise funds for the nonprofit to further their mission of supporting veterans.
