MOVING – 4 WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THE ‘STUFF’
So here we are, just a few days before the actual move in. The boxes are packed, most are marked with their number (see my last blog for that info). The rooms will be marked when we get the keys. The garage is overflowing with all the ‘stuff’ that I am releasing into someone else’s hands. There are the old and outdated cassette tapes, old electronics, golf equipment, cell phones. Oh, my gosh, it is so much and our goal is to get it into the hands of others who need or can use it. It is going to take a little more time to take it around town, but it will get to those who can use it.
My husband, Bill, went on an email search and found some great info. Yes, of course, there is Goodwill, Salvation Army, but there are others as well, depending on what you have.
We have our church for donations, as well as our local Amazing Grace ministry, which is a ministry to the homeless who always need clothing and small toiletries.
I also sent over 100 items to ‘Sisters Consignment’, and plan to send a few things to Ebay to sale.
It takes a lot longer to pack this way, to separate the things out, but it will be worth it.
Release.. Release.. Release.. and SHARE!
