We are moving , and have to remove our drapes from the old place. The new buyer does not want them.
They are only 6 yrs old, and very high quality, lined floor to ceiling drapes. They originally cost several thousand dollars.
We cannot use the. In the new place, and would like to either sell or donate. I have called the usual suspects( habitat, goodwill) and they said they don't take donations of drapes.
Any suggestions where to donate them?

Craigslist free? I'm surprised that Goodwill in Florida doesn't take drapes - our Goodwills take them.

^^^ I was also going to say Craigslist for free. I even got rid of pink vertical blinds that way!

Maybe try an animal rescue depending on the type of fabric?

I am surprised as well that habitat and goodwill doesn't take them. Neither will women's exchange. To quote habitat: "If they have to be installed, we can't take them."

As for no one using drapes - we're part of that club now. :-)

The Sarasota Community Church in Sarasota on Bahia Vista Street accepts fabric donations. They use them to make quilts that are then sold with the proceeds being used to help others around the Globe. I think you can only drop off a particular day and time, so I suggest calling in advance to make the arrangements. Great cause. If this works out, please post here to let others know.
