banish clutter, help others

Are you having a difficult time getting rid of unneeded items around your home? Maybe it will help to think of it as your way of helping others who you may not even know.

When you are at the point of letting go of your clutter, try donating items to the following types of organizations: women's shelters, homeless shelters, children's groups at churches, preschools and day cares--even church youth groups, women's ministries and nursing homes.

Items like toiletries, clothing and bedding would be greatly appreciated at shelters. Items like craft supplies would be appreciated by preschools, day cares, nursing homes and church groups. Knowing you are helping others can alleviate a lot of unnecessary guilt and help you to feel better about clearing your clutter.
