Trending Upward Thrift Shoppe is a nonprofit, faith-based thrift operation in Waconia that accepts gently used donated goods for resale. Its official site identifies clothing and home essentials as core categories and publishes dedicated donation hours for the Waconia location. This can provide executors and families with a local outlet for usable clothing, household goods, and other home items during an estate cleanout. Donations should be clean and suitable for reuse, and the store may decline items based on condition, available space, or current needs.

The organization uses its thrift operation to help meet basic clothing and household needs in the community. Donation hours differ from general store hours, so advance confirmation is important for larger estate loads or unusual items. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
