For those who keep waiting for the perfect time to clean out that overstuffed closet, we've got a resource that may motivate you. Below, you will find nearly 30 categories of items that can be donated to organizations that will share them with people in need. Simply find your category (be it clothing, construction materials, household goods, etc…) and look to the right for the name (and link) of the non-profit organization that collects it. We're always happy to add to this great resource. Please contact us with recommendations.
