[...] – Dejunk your house, or a room of your house. Eliminating and organizing stuff might not always be fun, but it leaves you with a lightness of spirit when you are done. Here’s a post with some ideas for what to do with your cast-offs: Sort, Junk, Donate. [...]

This was such a wonderful post. I just reread it from my Google Reader for ideas. In the end, I think it is easiest for me to donate to the Goodwill. I figure my donations will make someone as happy as I am when I find something there. Ninas last blog post..Monday Seven

Last year, I wrote a post listing many of my favorite charities (http://andamom.com/?p=228).

I’m a big fan of uncluttering and donating what I don’t need to charity as you’ve probably noticed from my past postings. Aside from things I donate to Salvation Army and other charities, I seek out things that I can use for a goods drive at work (I did drives this year for eyeglasses, work attire, cell phones, children’s books, coins, and school supplies). When possible, I donate proceeds from these good to the needy public school we support.

I love your awards! I don't think I could have gotten CJ to donate any animals, either! Despite the fact that we NEED to do some sorting and donating due to the new arrival, we didn't- last weekend, anyway. Thanks for the list of places to donate to, though- we'll have to finish soon!

We are thankful to be listed among your worthy efforts! We appreciate children’s books, school supplies, and novels (tell your book group!!!)
We are also a great source for service-learning projects (church group, girl/ boy scouts, home-schoolers, etc.)
My son had a “Books For Africa” birthday party, and we collected many great books and one dollar per book for donation to Books For Africa, instead of MORE plastic toys for our house.
Please contact me for more information, and thank you for wanting to end the African book famine!

The list of charities is great! Our city is doing the Soles4Shoes one this month (or a similar one). For most things we just donate to a local thrift or the domestic abuse shelter (they can always use some of those stockpiled hotel soaps and shampoos especially, plus nice toys and clothes for the women and kids). This is a good time of year to be thinking of all of these folks and it goes right along with being thankful. :) Thanks! Alicias last blog post..Unplugged Project: Donating for Dollars

I am so behind on blog reading that I didn't even know what this week's theme was. I just happened to be posting on just this topic today. Gotta love coincidences like that :) I have a *lot* more decluttering to do, so I will probably check back to see if we can donate to any of the causes that you mentioned. warillevers last blog post..My Favorite Store
