Savers has different items, depending on what is 'donated' to them. One important thing to note is that Savers is not a charity, as the company infers. It is a large privately owned chain of stores up and down the East Coast and Midwest. People give them their inventory for free, thinking they are making a donation to a charitable organization. Savers does donate a portion of the profits to a charity but is not at all transparent about the terms of their agreement with the charity or what percentage of the profits go to charity. If that sounds a little flakey to you, there are other thrift centers that are actually run by charities such as Salvation Army and Goodwill. There's also a consignment shop on Sconticut Neck Rd that has a lot of nice furniture.
I thought savers put profits into helping the less fortunate,now I really want to how much of that profit is going into pockets, people do have to get paid but not outrageously.i dislike having to find a new place to shop.and Goodwill is not an option as their CEO s are grossly overpaid..
Mercy! I thought Savers was for charity. When I have something to donate I will go to the churches and ask about who needs it.
It runs on donations so it's possible, but not definite
