We’re heading into March and the beginning of Spring Cleaning. Few look forward to cleaning, but my suggestion is start with your kids. Get them to clean out their rooms and box things up to give to charity. Surprisingly, kids love to deliver their goods themselves so they feel like someone is actually going to have use of them. It puts a whole new twist on cleaning their rooms if they know where things will be going. Many abused women and children shelters are in need of gently used items that your kids are no longer using and many housing causes could use some not-too-worn furniture. We love helping out the women and children at
Laura's House and also
Human Options.
HomeAid Orange County has a list of the furniture needs of many local shelters.
What to do With What You Pitch
There’s also this
great article on what to do with your items after you have decided they can’t stay. Donate, recycle or sell!
