Every item does have a memory tied to it and is very difficult to let go though I've been making new memories and have been filtering some items that have no use especially when it's been tucked away for year without knowing it was there I know it was time to downsize. Many items in my opinion is in great condition as is still deeply loved know that it will still be enjoyed by someone else will let it go and love to take it to several drop off location so that it's not taken to the landfill which is actually the saddest thing in my onion. This Salvation Army location in Kailua is quite massive and my favorite place to browse, very organized and with probably one of the largest selection of furniture is found here it's a great place to search for that find. Parking though is the worse as there's just a few stalls and for shoppers that's doing the hard search I found it impossible to wait for a stall as I just double parked after placing my donation in the bin provided right outside I walked in for quick browse but decided not to search too hard to only to return items back home lol! Great place with lots of find...come see here! Thank you!

I try my best to recycle and hope that the need isn't just to unload my items but to keep in mind that what many are the usual wants and needs as well and since I was in Kaneohe I though to swing by this Goodwill location which is quite interesting as it's in Kaneohe Shopping Center and is visible right from Kamehameha Hwy and though they do share parking with many other biz parking can get quite crowded but they do have two dedicated parking stalls for drop off making it super easy though I didn't know that and did find parking nearby and as I walked over with my items two staff darted over to grab them from me which very nice and thoughtful. I did have the intent to browse inside as well but was running late and left without doing so but is a great place to find hidden treasures and at such great prices just the greeting alone that I received before I step foot inside gives such a positive vibe and love this location. Thank you!

Live in the moment…read more.. Hanging on to items without purpose has an unnecessary place and though the process of purging at first has been at places that purchased my items which was a great incentive at the start though as they slowly increased their inventory the selective process has making most of my items literally worthless. Now as Green Drop has increased it's location throughout the island making the "drop" has been so easy as this Kailua location is in the lot of the former Pali Lanes so driving up and donating is so much easier...easier than letting those items go lol! I seem to always visit on lunch break and this day was no different but was nice to see that they left out a bit so that I'm still able to drop off my items as it seem to see that many others has done so as well. Thank you to the staff who are there and are so delightful and helpful taking in my items and know that it's going to a great cause. Thank you!

Donation in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. I tried to participate in a "buy back" clothing program where the store will give credit for other clothing that others have "recycled". Unfortunately, none of my items were to their liking, so I found the GreenDrop at the parking lot of the former Pali Lanes. GreenDrop is a national chain that sells their items to Savers and gives the proceeds to worthy charities such as The American Red Cross. I'm already in the GreenDrop system, so I gave Wini my phone number. An emailed receipt was sent to me right away! This is so convenient and reduces paper waste! Wini was the cheerful, helpful worker! She was very friendly and informative! I hope to see her again soon! She made this such a pleasant experience in the cool, beautiful Windward environment!

Cleaning house in the New Year…read more.. It's a good thing to purge and give things that you don't need to others who might need them. When you donate to Goodwill, you can get a receipt for a tax write off and even get a coupon for 20 percent off one full priced item in their store! The Goodwill pod at Windward Mall is gone, so, I had to go to Windward City Shopping Center where there is a wooden structure... Like a little house. When I went, the staff was at lunch. The sign said that they'd be back at 12:30pm. I did a few errands and came back. Wow... What a difference half an hour makes! When I returned, there were so many bags of donations outside the door, on the steps, and lines up in front of the building! The poor guy was surrounded! I started to help him by bringing some of the bags closer to the door. Then, he asked if I was waiting for a receipt. I replied, "Yes!" He asked how many bags I had and wrote my receipt. I continued to help him and he said that he could do the rest. Wow! Well, I feel like I've been rewarded for cleaning my house. Hope to clean more soon! Note: closed on Sundays

Helping Hands was so much closer to where we live compared to Salvation Army or Goodwill. I like that Helping Hands is truly a nonprofit organization because they don't sell your donated goods to the people who need them. People can come get the goods for free at helping hands. Staff were always very friendly and helpful with unloading my car. They are also very good about giving me the tax write off forms. (Salvation Army has you go to a website to get tax form and I couldn't even create an account successfully on the website. Kept getting error message.) Helping hands drop off times are Monday to Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM so the drop off window is pretty limited.
