FAQ

The resale of your donations makes it possible for us to fund our community program.  Each donation goes toward supporting local children, seniors, and families right in the Merritt Island area.

I Love My Island can only continue helping our Island community with the generosity of our donors. The purpose of our donation policy is to help generate the most revenue we can for our community programs. Accepting items that we can’t sell or cost too much to move severely hurts our non-profit. For this reason we have created the donation policy below.

DONATION POLICY:

We only accept items in good, resalable condition. They must be free of rips, tears, stains, and odors. Items can not be damaged, faded, worn out, moldy or covered in pet hair. We do not accept any furniture made of particle board. No kitchen or bathroom fixtures, cabinets, lighting, ceiling fans, or left over building materials. No projection or tube TVs. No mattresses or box springs unless NEW.

Our drivers are the eyes of the store. They cannot take any item that violates our donation policy. They cannot move any item that is not being donated. We don’t remove trash or do “cleanouts”.  If our drivers feel that any item is too large and not safe to move, they may decline the donation for their safety. If they feel that moving an item could cause damage to the donor’s home or property they may decline the donation.

Beds being donated must be taken apart before arrival and all loose items must be boxed, bagged or in a tote prior to pick up. We accept dining tables with chairs only and no chairs without a table. No hutches/china cabinets without matching dining table/chairs. No armoires, TV stands or entertainment centers unless it can hold at least a 50” flat screen TV. No large wall unit entertainment centers. No pianos or full-size pool tables. No baby furniture. No medical beds or anything “oxygen” related.

We will do the best we can to update this policy as changes arise. If you want to donate but are not sure if your donation qualifies, please call 321-473-3355 and ask for a manager. We are happy to help.

We greatly appreciate our donors! Thank you.
