Decluttering with a purpose in mind

So often, we declutter our homes and offices because we MUST - the clutter is really starting to overwhelm us, and we dig in, putting aside things to donate, sell, store, etc.

The next time you donate your items you no longer love or use, consider the final destination of the item before tossing it into a random donation trailer.

Here are some charities and their true purposes:

Goodwill -North America’s leading nonprofit provider of education, training, and career services for people with disadvantages
The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church.
St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVDP) is a nonprofit organization that provides direct assistance to anyone suffering or in need. We offer a lifeline to those in want of food and clothing, rent assistance, medical aid, help with addiction, abuse or incarceration, employment and shelter.
Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) a national veterans service organization primarily serving the needs of veterans of the Vietnam War era throughout the nation and elsewhere.


Here at Discover Organizing, we have decided to become a drop-off center for Operation Troop Appreciation. The volunteers at OTA package and ship all donations to soldiers overseas. For more information, see their website: www.OperationTroopAppreciation.com

Most charitable organizations would be happy to explain what their donation centers do, what they need, how they collect, and are fiscally responsible.
