we're doing the same with our local WhatsApp group interns of swapping/donating stuff, it actually feels like our road community has come together

It is indeed brilliant. Some of our old furniture went to a family who pretty much had none! Another way our village helps is a Thursday house to house pickup for the Foodbank. They collect carloads. |

Our estate has been doing that from early on both outside houses and via FB. We also had a raffle running with good stuff so it wasn’t always quickest person got it. That evolved to include a weekly key worker raffle with donated items or services. I have a manicure and a curry waiting for me.

We have lots of charity shops in the town I live in, all closed apart from a couple. Yesterday I was able to visit the AgeUK shop and hand in some stuff and joy of joy, buy some books. I was desperate for books, libraries are reopening but not ours, yet. My local library have renewed my books on loan until February 2021 but I hope I can take them back before then! |

We managed to give a lot of my mom's things/furniture to a local womens refuge as they have still been working throughout and luckily the local hospice & day centre accepted the rest a couple of weeks ago.
