As you do some cleaning and organizing around your house in Texas, you'll run across some stuff that is not needed anymore or just need to get rid of to free up space. While you'll probably have a garage sale, others will feel the need to donate those items to a charity. There are a plethora of places in East Texas to donate used items and all of them are perfect options to do so. One of those organizations is the Salvation Army. While they accept a long list of items, there are some items they will not take.
