Q: What type of items can I donate to the Meadowlark Hills Market?
With the Meadowlark Hills Market fast approaching this is an appropriate question!
The Meadowlark Hills Market accepts a wide variety of items such as gently-used furniture, vintage clothing, small appliances, handmade items, home décor, pictures, painting, books, records, holiday decorations, etc. The only thing we do not ask for is any clothing that was produced after 1980.
