PPL SHOP
PPL SHOP's
job-training program is self-supporting through the retail sales
of surplus merchandise at our NE Minneapolis warehouse.
To remain self-supporting, we need donations of new or good used
business and residential furniture and equipment.
Thank you
for considering PPL SHOP for your donation. We offer tax-deductible
receipts.
.
Each prospective donation
goes through a screening process. We take into consideration
the age, condition, quantity and location of the items.
We will respond in one of three ways:
Yes,
we will accept your donation and it's cost-effective for
us to pick-up.
OR
Yes,
we will accept your donation but it's not cost-effective for
us to pick-up. We will accept
your
donation if it's dropped off at our warehouse during store hours.
OR
No,
we are unable to accept your donation.

PPL
The
need for PPL services has increased as a result of decreased state
funding to many
of
the "safety net" programs that have assisted those
most in need in our community. PPL helps to fill the
void left by the decrease or elimination of state funded services.

you're interested in making a financial contribution, volunteering
or wanting more information about PPL.
