Wouldn’t it be motivating to know there were people who wanted all that clutter in your basement? Part of why I procrastinate about cleaning out the attic and basement is the hassle of taking everything to the dump. Now there is a website that matches your discarded items with nonprofit organizations that actively want them.
Search The Giving Effect by typing in the items you are donating, by zip code, or by specific causes. Interested in helping animals? Lucky Pup Rescue in Kennebunkport, Maine wants all gently used dog crates, pet toys and pet supplies.
Live in New Jersey? City Green in Clifton, NJ is looking for gently used garden tools, gloves and plant containers.
Over 1,410 organizations have registered with The Giving Effect to receive donations. Each cause has it’s own page describing it’s mission and what they need. Let them know what you’re donating and they will respond and coordinate with you. Also on each page is whether or not your donation can be tax deductible.
Feel good about discarding unwanted ‘stuff’’.
