Donation Box

A Donation Box is a box you put by your door and you place in it the things you're going to take to the charity of your choice as you declutter your home.

I've had a Donation Box for about 3 years now, and it's been wonderful! I've used it every year - all year - and now it's been all taped up and ready to go full to brim with goodies for the charity of my choice (which is St Vincent De Paul or Life Line) and I love giving things to both of these wonderful charities. 

So, all you need is a big box... usually a cardboard box... and you write on it: Donation Box. And as you're cleaning out, you put into it what will be going to a charity. As soon as the Donation Box is full, put everything into bags and take it all to the charity of your choice and they will sell your goods to make money to help the less fortunate.

And the best thing about these places is that you can find the most wonderful things to furnish your home, or to replace that one thing that might have been broken years ago. I buy 3/4 of my clothes at Life Line and St Vincent De Paul stores... who needs brand new when all the best fashions are at a 1/4 of the price at a charity store?
