I have learned about all the reasons to be against certain thrift store organizations. I thought it over and I decided that the kind people working in the stores have jobs because people like me have donated there. I also focus on the other moms who need the items I’m donating and there more likely to find them in a convenient local thrift store.

It's absolutely fine to donate single items from a set. My mother had a set of crockery as a wedding gift from 1966. The gravy boat got broken, but lo and behold, she found an identical gravy boat in a thrift store. She didn't need the whole set, just that item. A lot of people don't collect sets anyway; I used to just collect crockery in specific colours, they didn't need to match. I've stopped buying crockery now; I have enough. Instead, I am donating surplus crockery to refugees who have literally nothing.
I also donate to thrift stores that aren't my favourite organisations, because they're open later and it's easier to get my stuff there. I am learning to be a lot less precious about where my stuff goes.
