Goodwill used to hire people that needed some help getting back on their feet.

I tried to donate some medical equipment to Goodwill but they refused it. They did take part of a recliner but left parts in the truck so whatever. The guy they sent out to the truck didn’t speak English and just stood there staring at me and obviously fresh from the river.

The church and other agencies that used to beg for medical equipment don’t anymore after covid (ever heard of clorox that should be used no matter what) so we ended up taking it all to the dump. A perfectly good electric bed (no plastic covered mattress because there might be a bed bug, ya know), shower stool that wouldn’t fit our tubs, etc. The home health folk said it was easier to rent the items for clients and it wasn’t their problem to see to it clients had equipment after they left care.
