Salvation Army donation trucks will return June 14
DONATION EVENT
Salvation Army trucks will return to the Amphitheater parking on Saturday, June 14, from 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. The donation project is managed by the Golden Age Foundation.
The Salvation Army accepts donations of clean, gently used, salable household items including clothing, bedding, kitchenware, small appliances and electronics, toys, sporting goods, books, art, home decor and small and medium furniture.
The program, dubbed “Salvation Saturdays,” brings Salvation Army donation trucks into Leisure World every other month, providing a convenient and cost- effective way for residents to rid themselves of unwanted items.
The program, which began in September 2024, has gathered 17 truckloads of valuable clothing and household items, all of which have gone to support the Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Centers located across Southern California.
In addition to giving residents a convenient venue to drop off donations, the program also saves shareholders money since it cuts down on expensive haul-away costs for cast-offs that were previously disposed of at the 1.8-Acre site.
For more information on donating or to volunteer, contact Geneva Potepan at 951-675-4271 or email mom4rascal@aol.com.
Donation bags are available in the clubhouses, LW Library and the News Office.
