clean up and help out

many of us are starting to get into that "spring cleaning" mode...i wanted to share with you what i have only recently discovered;  donate the items you are clearing out!  clothing, household items, shoes, small electronics, baby gear, books...you name it, they probably take it(although, be sure that you do look at their "can not accept" list).

in february we donated to the united war veterans counsil.

and just yesterday we made a donation to the lupus foundation of america

its simple!  most organizations have websites where the pick ups can be scheduled, or you can give them a jingle...you don't even have to be home @ the time of the pick up! 

here are a couple more to check out:
pickupplease.org
salvation army

you can also do a google search...i used "donation pick up service"

today, david and i will hit the bins @ the grocery store to finally drop off the last of all the out grown clothes!!!

i know that alot of us are struggling in this economy.  i feel really good about being able to help a family that may be worse off than mine.
