Laurel House - Stamford, CT
This organization helps to create opportunities for people with serious mental illness obtain work, attend school, have a place to live and experience improved health and an overall better quality of life. It is also a place where recovery begins. We donate the stuff we get from our Stamford territory to the Laurel House thrift shop. The thrift shop does two things; it provides people within the Laurel House system an opportunity to work, and it generates the revenue needed to keep the Laurel House active. |

| Other Local Organizations - Because it pains us to throw usable junk into the landfills, we are constantly looking for places that will accept the great things we find on jobs. In our search, we have found local synagogues, churches and community centers more than happy to help us redistribute books, clothes, shoes, appliances, household goods and more... Digging deeper we have found special cases where individuals have made it their life's work to get great toys to kids, baby carriages to less fortunate new mother's, etc. Some of these people let us pull up to their front yards, and leave it on their doorstep!! The greatest Junklugger discovery thus far has been that there truly are amazing people everywhere you look. Sometimes you just have to be a part of the giving to find them. |
