I’m due for another run of donating stuff. Normally, my girls clean out their closet a couple of times during the year of things that are too small. Lately, they have just started moving their clothing into an extra closet in the house. So, I definitely need to collect them all and get them ready for donating.

We took two loads of stuff to Goodwill last weekend. I entered my electronic receipt, and with each one, was shown the impact calculator. Seeing details about how it helps, made me feel even better about my donation.

I believe in donating to Goodwill. It’s a good way to lighten our load and help others out at the same time.

I’m not sure we have a Goodwill in this town but for the last 15 years or so, I have made 3-6 month donation drops to them. In this town, I do take them someplace similar but I don’t think it’s an official Goodwill store. Either way, it’s doing someone some good!

I couldn’t agree more! We take several bags each year, and explain the necessity of giving to others to our son.

We’re cleaning out our house right now, and it never occurred to us to take things to Goodwill. What a great idea! We have been trying to stick to a “bring something in, take something out” with toys and clothes, and it’s made a huge difference in the amount of clutter around our house.

I have a huge box ready to go to Goodwill and am waiting to go through the rest of the house before dropping off a truck load of donations. I do this every year and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

We do this twice a year! It feels great to give back while being able to get rid of all the excess toys my kids outgrow but barely use.

This holidays is a perfect time to declutter. I liked how you mentioned donating the number of items that you got – so you got 12 toys, donate 12 of your own toys.

We need to go through the kids rooms and get rid of stuff they have outgrown!

We donate to Goodwill usually 3-4 times a year. It’s a great way to get rid of stuff while helping others.

I do this every 6 months because my MIL can not stop buying my son toys. Ugg.

I donate regularly to Goodwill. I can’t stand clutter and have a few bags of things that I need to donate now.

I donate often. They pick up my area which makes it even easier. And I agree, it helps to de-clutter the home.

I spent most of the day cleaning out closets. I have bags and boxes loaded into the car, ready to go to Goodwill.

We have taken a ton of toys to Goodwill. We do it every year right before Christmas.
