Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

    Same. I am a huge fan of curb-alerting large items that I can no longer use. Always a huge relief when a broken table saw that’s not worth fixing or some other large item disappears from my garage into the trunk of someone’s car.

      Told the other guy but lemmy.world/c/curbfind exists to help recreate the niche on reddit. Tell other people who were in that community also.
