Want to have an impact in your community, but don't know where to start? Here's your guide to getting involved with DIGS: 1. Donate your gently used furniture & home goods to our warehouse, where they will be used to turn a house into a home for a Chicago family in need. Way better than wasting away in a landfill! We are open for donations Mondays & Wednesdays from 10am - 3pm. Scuff marks & stuck drawers are welcome :) 2. Sign up for a volunteer shift in the warehouse! Learn what a family wants to see in their home, then select furniture & home goods to bring their design ideas to life. Or spend your shift in the workshop upcycling furniture and home goods to be like-new for a DIGS family! 3. Join us for a DIGS Day! We move in a truck full of goodies every week, and we need hands to do it! Whether you want to volunteer solo, with your friends & family, or with your corporate team, we've got a DIGS Day for you. 4. Donate funds to support our organization as we continue to grow into our goal of breaking the cycle of homelessness one family at a time!

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

Before you pack a single box, it’s important to invest time in decluttering. Here are some simple tips to help you choose what gets to go with you, and what items to give a second life through donation. 📦 Before you pack, think about your future space and what will fit, especially if you're downsizing. Make a plan to donate or sell the items that you no longer need. 📦 Choose one room to focus on at a time, and touch every item in that room to determine how it should be categorised - keep, donate, sell. 📦 Assign each room a color using colored tape (i.e. kitchen=red, bathroom =blue, etc.) to make it super easy for everyone involved to know where the boxes should go. Remember, the less you have, the more your new space will feel like a fresh start! 🏡 #MovingHome #UK #Declutter #Donate #Recycle

The #Goodwill says there are “7 Reasons Why You Should Donate Clothing & Other Items” and we agree with them. Plus, your donations will help #community #youth and #singlemothers. 4. “You Can #Declutter Your Closet Do you ever feel like you can’t find anything? #Donatingclothes you don’t wear anymore will make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for, saving you time and unnecessary #stress.

👁️🗨️ 👓 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
