Vietnam Veterans of America

Jun 2024

In general , VVA is a B+ for picking up clothes ,shoes ,shirts ,Tupperware,etc ;however, the drivers are simply not equipped to pick up anything connected with book donations, despite what VVA claims. They have no back supports on and the dolly they use is not professional.
DO NOT attempt to set up in advance any date for VVA to pick up books .You will find the books left exactly where You set them out to be picked up.
It is far better to donate to a used book store.
The grade I give VVA for book donations is an F.

It is a vintage bookcase, yes it has scratches on it but is lightweight, usable and nice looking....read full review

I have been donating to this charity for over 25yrs. Left items outside my door for pickup. They took the two bags of clothing but left a box full of kitchen supplies most items brand new never used so as of today I will no longer donate to this charity. I've found another charity to donate to.
