UPDATE #2 (30/07/2024): We want to thank the amazing community for their support, please keep sharing and let's gather all the equipment and items we need to get Closet Share up and running. Closet Share is a community-focused program dedicated to collecting local clothing donations, washing and sorting them into tiers, and cataloging them on an online store for community members to access. We provide affordable clothing solutions through a tiered system, with Tier 1 offering free clothing for low-income families and organizations, and Tier 2 allowing the broader community to purchase items at low costs. Additionally, our Bags of Rags program repurposes unusable textiles to prevent them from ending up in landfills, contributing to environmental sustainability. We are excited to announce that we have recently acquired a warehouse to expand our operations. Unfortunately, we did not receive the government funding we applied for, and the warehouse requires some renovations to get it functioning for our program. We need various supplies, and if you have any items that you would be interested in donating to Closet Share, we would greatly appreciate it. We are also always looking for volunteers to help with the growth and building of Closet Share's warehouse. Your support can make a significant difference in our community!

👁️🗨️ 👓 Looking to declutter your space while giving back to your community? Here are some tips for donating furniture to a community outreach nonprofit: 1. Check Donation Guidelines: Before donating, ensure that the nonprofit accepts furniture donations and inquire about any specific guidelines they may have about what they can accept. 📋 2. Inspect Furniture: Make sure the furniture you're donating is clean, sturdy, and in good condition. Avoid donating items that are damaged, stained, or excessively worn. 👀 3. Include Necessary Accessories: If you're donating items like tables or desks, include any necessary accessories such as chairs, hardware, or assembly instructions to make the furniture ready for immediate use. 🗝 4. Measure Doorways and Hallways: If you're donating large pieces of furniture, measure doorways and hallways to ensure the items can be easily transported and maneuvered into the nonprofit's facility or the recipient's home. ✅ 5. Arrange Pickup or Drop-Off: Coordinate with the nonprofit to arrange for furniture pickup or drop-off. Some organizations offer pickup services for larger items, while others may have designated drop-off locations. (Please note: AgapeLYH does not have a pickup service at this time.) 🚚 6. Spread the Word: Encourage friends, family, and neighbors to donate furniture as well, by sharing information about the nonprofit's furniture donation program. 🔊 7. Consider Monetary Donations: In addition to donating furniture, consider making a monetary donation to support the nonprofit's programs and operations. Financial contributions allow organizations to purchase essential items or cover operational expenses. 💰 Together, we can make a difference by providing furniture to those in need and creating comfortable, welcoming spaces for individuals and families in our community. Let's turn our furniture into hope and support for those who need it most! ❤️ #DonateFurniture #CommunityOutreach #MakeADifference agapelyh.org/donate

There are so many things to decide on in our lives already that often, decisions on what to do with your clutter buildup get postponed. Perhaps you need to talk to a family member before you can decide or you need a chunk of time to tackle more at once. You might be too tired after a busy day at work or with the kids or volunteering that these decisions are not even on your radar. Yet your clutter keeps building because every time we bring in more than we take out our accumulation builds. So my suggestion is to put it in or on your calendar at least once a month for a few hours to sort through the piles and see what can be recycled or donated or tossed. Always keep a clear bag going in a closet for clothes you don't need anymore. Keep a box in a spot where you can see it to add donations into on a consistent basis and when it is full then donate it and start another one. When you finish a book or a puzzle or you see decor you no longer love, add it to the box. CD's you won't listen to or DVD's you won't watch or games you won't play can all be good additions to donate. Are you consistently decluttering or rather doing it in chunks or not doing it at all. Here is your message to begin. #decluttering #hamont #burlington #oakville #professionalorganizersincanada #clutterreliefservices
