As Noah’s Ark Thrift Shop-St. Michael and All Angels has recently started accepting donations, FISH OF SANCAP is redirecting furniture and household item donations to Noah’s.
As FISH clears out its facility for upcoming repairs, they are no longer able to accept furniture and household donations. “We’re absolutely thrilled that Noah’s is back,” says Maria Espinoza, Executive Director of FISH. “FISH was happy to fill the gap by providing community members with furnishings while Noah’s recovered from Hurricane Ian. Now that they are back and accepting donations, we encourage community members to bring their items to the Ark, located behind St. Michael and All Angels Church at 2304 Periwinkle.”
FISH notes that donors can call FISH regarding larger furniture and appliance donations.
According to Noah’s social media pages, furniture donations should be small items that folks can bring to the Ark. They do not have pick-up service at this time. Some of the items needed include the following – clothes in good condition; décor items, artwork and lamps; books, DVDs, Puzzles, games, holiday decorations; small appliances (toasters, blenders, food processors); etc. Larger items, such as light fixtures and ceiling fans, sleeper sofas, large exercise equipment, building equipment, large appliances, etc. are better taken to another thrift store, or contact FISH at 239-472-4775 to see if they can accept.
FISH will continue their POD distribution in partnership with United Way Gifts In-Kind as items are available. For more information on upcoming distribution dates and items, refer to the FISH social media pages. Community members with specific needs for larger items or rebuilding supplies can contact Merari Salinas at FISH at 239-472-4775 or [email protected].
