New Year, Less Stuff: Where to Donate Unused Items Near You

December 27 2023

During the holiday break, many locals are taking advantage of the extra time to tackle a few honey-do's on their list, such as decluttering the home. But what to do with all of your unused items? Donate them close to home!

Donating unused items to local nonprofits not only declutters your home, but also helps neighbors in need. Whether it's clothing that no longer fits, home appliances that are rarely used, or toys that your children have outgrown, these items can make a significant difference in someone else's life. This act of giving not only fosters a sense of community but also promotes sustainability by giving a second life to items that would otherwise be discarded. It's a practical way to embody the holiday spirit of sharing and caring.

These local nonprofits regularly accept unused items, which are either given to those who need a helping hand or resold to generate revenue for programs that support our neighbors in need. Before stopping by with your items, confirm holiday donation drop-off hours.
