The Nearly New Shop -
The donation bin remains open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 4:00 pm on an ongoing basis. Our goal is to have a regular weekly or biweekly opening. As we iron out the wrinkles, navigate the building’s rental schedules, gain more volunteers we will continue the pop-up format for now.
Our current donation wish list is baby clothes, kids’ toys and crafts, summer wear; household such as kitchen items like pots and pans, small side lamps, knickknacks; double and queen size comforters. The drop-off bin is located inside the front doors beside the elevator.
If you or a friend are interested in helping set-up/take-down, work cash, price, organize, please let us know on Facebook messenger (search: Nearly New Shop – Lansing United)
Our next opening will be Saturday, May 18th, 2024 10 am - 1 pm.
If you would like to be alerted about future openings, please let us know on Facebook messenger (search: Nearly New Shop – Lansing United) or send an email by clicking the "Send an email" button.
