I like this too. I've seen things I've donated to the kitchen, for example, later out on a giveaway table with no notice to me. I was able to take them back but an hour later and they would have been in a thrift shop. Also, sometimes people want to give things away without an understanding of what the piece means to the community. New people have often cleaned out drawers and toys because they seemed cluttered and things not used. Straightening is one thing -- discarding another. The stuff was important and used a lot. One person took all the infant chairs to the thrift shop because we had no infants. We now have three and need them back. The thrift store only has them occasionally so we have to keep going back to get them. And they are not as nice as the ones that had been donated when the last babies outgrew them.
