Trash to Treasure? Donate!

Do we really need all that is in our homes, imagine the good we could do by sharing our extras with others. There are many organizations out there that specialize in making use out of consumer excess. Listed below are a few favorites:
www.excessaccess.org – helps you to locate local charities that need what you want to donate
www.fairygodmothersinc.com – finds prom dresses etc. for young girls
www.dressforsuccess.org – provides suits for individuals entering the work force
www.onewarmcoat.org – donates coats to those in need
www.hatsoff-to-chemo.org – provides hats to patients receiving chemotherapy
www.suitcasesforkids.org – provides foster children with suitcases
www.solesforsouls.com – donates shoes to disaster victims

If one cannot find a home for something you can recycle all paper, plastic, and glass through your curbside recycler. Other items may also be recycled and www.earth911.org will tell you where and how!
