Charity Gives Back Beginnings

Charity Gives Back Store started with an idea and also discovered that there was so much home furnishings past and present that flooded the storage's since the collapse of the economy, recession hit in 2008 here in the Central Valley of California The housing market bubble burst as in many places around the U.S. Modesto CA. I also lost our home and ended up giving much away to my Children and selling some and the rest went into storage.
Another factor was I came home one day and my wife was watching Antique Road Show she said I needed to learn value of Artist paintings and names of porcelain products along with other things. I also started watching American Pickers Show and learned so much. Wanted to recreate both worlds I went out passed some fliers to people having garage sales asking to donate their items to Charity Gives Back asking if they wanted to unload their items that they no longer wanted. In doing so I found a location on a major street in town. I knew that all things could not be sold due to damage and ware and tare.
The silver lining was the items of Antiques, Vintage and Collectibles. This is the short version of the beginnings of CGB.
