Like so many things in 2020, spring cleaning is a bit more challenging this year. With donation centers across the country closing because of the Coronavirus, many people are anxiously waiting for them to reopen to that they can drop off items they no longer need. Goodwill is still not accepting donations but some other places around the Twin Cities have opened back up for donations.

Arc – Is currently accepting clothing and housewares. Donations are accepted 10 AM – 1 PM daily but they recommend calling prior to coming to donation lanes. The lanes are operating at full capacity right now.
