It is hard to say "no thank you" to a donation when those donations help to fund the ministries of Table of Grace. However, we do need to refuse some items for being non-recyclable or containing hazardous materials. Other times, the item must be refused because it costs more to transport, repair or refurbish than it can be sold for.
