Sorry this is late...we were traveling home from out-of-state. (But...it rhymes!)
Many of you have been purging your homes and donating your used items to places. Be aware that some donation-accepting groups are not what they seem. If you want your clutter to be used to help the community, just do your research. The little drop boxes you see around town may just sell your things for their own profit. My husband showed me a flyer that came in the mail today about donating for a military group. In the small print, it showed that a professional solicitor company gets most of the profits and just gives a license fee to the military group.
Some reputable donation centers in my area I've found: Salvation Army, Goodwill, American Vets. Basically, if you get a receipt from your donation, your discards will help others.
