Do you have any items you no longer need or just want out of your way?

This Saturday, April 26, members of the Tamaqua Volunteers community initiative group will be accepting donations of clothing, toys, tools, electronics, holiday decorations, pots/ pans/dishes, cookware, furniture, appliances and practically anything else. The only items not accepted are televisions, computer monitors and obvious garbage. All donated items must be clean and odor-free.Donations may be dropped off Saturday between 8 and 9 a.m. at the M&M Self Storage facility next to Schickram's Car Wash on Rose Street in Tamaqua. Volunteers stress they are not able to pick up or store donations.Any Tamaqua resident wanting to receive donations is encouraged to be there by 9 a.m. as the donation giveaway is scheduled to start promptly at 9:15 a.m. All items will then be given away free to residents via a drawing.Any residents with a 18252 Zip code, no matter their income, can take advantage of this giveaway. Anyone, no matter where you live, can donate items.In addition to the regular items, hundreds of used clean sheets, bed skirts and blankets will be available. These bedding items, donated by the Comfort Inn in Hazleton to the Tamaqua Salvation Army, can be received by anybody, not just Tamaqua residents.Volunteers state their appreciation to Thorn Cycle's, M&M Self Storage and the Moyer family for donating the facility for the giveaway.In case of rain, the event will be moved to the same time Sunday, April 27.The group holds the event the last Saturday of every warm month.For more information, visit the event on Facebook at
