About Us

While finishing up a rummage one weekend, we realized that cleaning up after a rummage sale is a lot of hard work when you’re already exhausted!  The time spent on sorting, packing, and putting it all away easily took away from time that could be spent with the family.  We also realized that people were so tired after doing their rummage sales that they were getting rid of things in a very nilly willy kind of way.  Everyone knows that when you donate to a large donation facility, a lot gets thrown away or sent around the world.  In some circumstances, that’s okay.  But then it dawned on us, why are they sending perfectly useable items to other communities when there’s people in our own community that can use them?  So we came up with the simple idea of helping many people at once – we can help families with their clean up needs and then match up those items with people in our community who need them.

From there, The Pick-Up Chicks began.
