$8,000, a Purple Heart and Other Things That Should Not Have Been Donated to Thrift Shops

These things should not have been donated to thrift shops. In 2017, a woman accidentally donated a shirt to Goodwill, not realizing it had $8,000 in it. In 2021, volunteers at an Arizona thrift store found a Purple Heart in a donation box. In April, staff at New Tazewell Goodwill in Tennessee hoped to recover a sentimental toy accidentally donated to the store. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.
