Where can I donate some wooden doors?

Question

I have 3 wooden bi-fold doors leftover from a home improvement project. Where can I donate them? Any ideas would be helpful. I'm in Chicago, IL.

I called the Salvation Army and they don't take anything that needs installation.

Answer 1

Salvation Army - Goodwill

Answer 2

Old doors don't have a lot of value. If they're flat, you might convert them into cheap workbenches... or a funky eco-retro coffee table.

If they're hollow core, you can axe them up into microscopic pieces for the trash rather easily.

Or if you're OCD, and have to find a good home for them, Habitat for Humanity is probably the best bet. Doing a web search for Freecycle will probably get you some folks willing to take them off your hands after a little time.

Answer 3

Wow! If I were closer, you could donate them to me!
Seriously, check into the possibility of donating them to a charity thrift store in your area....not Goodwill, or a 'for profit' thrift store. That way you are assured that the sale of the doors will go to help someone less fortunate. Remember to ask if they will come pick up the doors.

Answer 4

I don't know but if you want to donate money to RSPCA without spending a penny, go here:
