Family Pathways North Branch Thrift Store is a qualifying donation resource in Chisago County, Minnesota. Family Pathways states that its thrift stores collect new and gently used clothing and household items, including furniture, kitchenware, linens, books, small appliances, sporting goods, tools and other reusable goods. This can provide executors and families with a local outlet for usable estate and household property that does not need to be discarded.

Items must generally be clean, usable and in salable condition; the organization lists restrictions on mattresses, large appliances, televisions, hazardous materials, recalled goods and other difficult-to-handle items. Donation acceptance can change with condition, season, storage space and staffing. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
