Mention clothing and diaper sizes, seasonal needs, or the furniture item you are looking for. Stock can change.
Check the process and price
Ask whether items are free, sold at a reduced price, or available through a voucher. Some programs need a referral.
Plan pickup or delivery
Confirm collection hours and whether delivery is offered. For furniture, check dimensions and transport before agreeing to collect it.
