17. Walkers

Many people rely on walkers to be able to move around. Walkers need to be stable and reliable. It sounds like a good idea to donate walkers you don't need anymore, but it's not a safe option. A walker user needs to know that it is stable and that thrift store employees can have trouble determining if the walker is secure. When you donate walkers, you could put the next user in danger. Many locations may refuse to give to walkers to keep their customers safe. You can donate walkers to a hospital or rehabilitation facility where employees can appreciate their credibility.
