Agape Ministries, Inc. in Saltillo explicitly accepts physical donations including clothing and furniture, along with other forms of community support. Its website says donated goods go to needy and homeless people in Lee County and provides an in-person donation address.

The ministry also offers donation pickup by telephone, which can be useful when an estate contains furniture or larger quantities that may be difficult to transport. This is a community ministry rather than a conventional resale center, so donors should discuss the current need, condition, quantity and pickup feasibility before arranging an estate-property donation.

For an executor, administrator, or family sorting estate property, this can be a useful targeted donation option when the listed goods are still usable but no longer needed by the estate. Do not assume the organization accepts every household item or an entire estate load. Confirm current condition standards, quantity limits, drop-off or pickup procedures, and whether bulky, unusual, or estate-sized donations can be accommodated before moving property.

Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
