If you know me, you know I LOVE non-profits (made a career of it!) and I live in a reduce, reuse, recycle state of mind (making a lifestyle of it).
I won’t lie, it can be taxing. It takes time and commitment, but it makes me feel good and there’s value in that.
With reusing comes the interest in donating physical items to keep them out of landfills.
I have a hard time just tossing, or blind donating .... sorry larger entities that take items, you're still on my list, just my LAST resort.
I really like to find a good home and a good fit.
I use my friends/family for ideas, search the web for local entities (non-profits?!), and sometimes I get lucky finding places that feel like a good fit.
This week, I took my lunch hour to donate some of my gently used stuffed animals to the Hmong American Women's Association, Inc. (https://lnkd.in/gKjgvj8b)
They were responsive to my emails (this has been a struggle with the numerous others contacted for this and other donations), timely with scheduling a drop and the kindest upon meeting and giving me a tour.
Thank you for taking my donations and providing them to others who can use some love and snuggles!
I look forward to assisting you more in the future.
Note they take home, and children’s items as well. Contact them for their current needs.
Would you like to see my list of favorite donation locations? It’s currently short and sweet (just like me) but it’s growing (also like me) with your suggestions.
What are some of your favorite spots to donate to, name & and location? Bonus points if they take trickier items!
Looking for a Job currently.
