    I have a leather sofa which is old and cracking on the top. But otherwise safe and sturdy. Do you think they will pick up? I live in Pensacola

    I just called. They are not gung ho to pick up out here, but said they would come
    get the two working appliances…………if someone that repairs and sells wouldn’ t come for them. So, good luck.

    Before this new place opened, I had called every ministry in Pensacola I could think of, and none would pick up anything in Walnut Hill. Too far.

    If they don’t offer pickup, I believe the St. Vincent DePaul thrift in Century does. Just give them a call.
