CAWL Second Chance Thrift Shop accepts good-condition small household, decorative, and other resale items. This gives executors and families a local disposition option for usable estate property that is not being distributed to beneficiaries or sold. Donations should be clean, usable, and appropriate for the organization’s stated program; acceptance can change with storage capacity, condition, season, or current community needs.

The shop specifically does not accept clothing or shoes, large furniture, electronics or appliances, bedding, baby items, or anything broken, soiled, or mildewed. Sales support the Calvert Animal Welfare League shelter and animal-care programs. Because estate cleanouts often involve volume or unusual items, donors should confirm current limits before loading or transporting property. Save a trip! Call CAWL Second Chance Thrift Shop first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
