Free: Blank crystal trophy/award cup (Fruitvale and 580) I received this award-trophy recently, and I don't have any space to give it. I was able to pull off the little plaque with my information, and did not damage the base – so another little plaque could be ordered from somewhere to adhere on for somebody else's good efforts – or this could be used for something else? According to the website the bowl is crystal. For pickup, bring a blanket/box/etc. to protect the glass... it has a narrow/delicate edge.

Free: InstantPot sealing ring (Fruitvale and 580) Gifted New/unused sealing ring. This is ONLY FOR 5 and 6 qt machines. I have an 8qt, and I put a different one of this size on mine, and it stopped the machine from sealing properly and melted the plastic — causing me to buy a new IP! So make sure you know your IPs size!!

Free: Moving? 20-25 bankers boxes (Fruitvale and 580) Gifted Only used once. However, lids were taped down, so the removed tape as well as the sharpie labeling on one side, make them not pristine for office files. They are still perfectly sturdy, though, and ready for more moves, or storing lots of stuff in the garage, etc. all bundled up tightly with tape in two groups, for easy car transport. Let me know when you can pick up if interested.

Request: microwave for a good cause (Fruitvale between 580/Foothill) Expired Hi – we have an elderly neighbor in the final stage of life (she has stage 4 cancer and is in at-home hospice), who worked her whole career as an ESL teacher. We've been helping her out as much as we can. This morning she called and let us know her microwave had stopped working. This is especially unfortunate because she uses it to heat up her Meals on Wheels dishes that are delivered every week. Is there a chance that somebody has a microwave they're not using that they'd be able to donate to her, so that we don't have to go out and buy a new one for what is unfortunately such a short time? Thanks in advance, if anybody can help!
