AmVets organization calls me to let me know when their donation truck will be in my area. I always find a box or two of “stuff” that they can resell, and I get the benefit of a tax receipt for the donation.
Vietnam Veterans of America also calls to let me know when their truck will be in my area. I am more than happy to fill a box or two with items they can sell to benefit their organization. I get the benefit of a tax receipt for my donation. Simple!
There are many, many organizations that will be very grateful for your donations of household goods, decorative items, and things you no longer need. It is painless and it encourages you to move items OUT of your home and into the homes of others who will appreciate them. Your home gets “simplified,” and you also receive that ever-appreciated tax receipt.
Try it yourself. I’ve found the easiest way to start is just walk around the house with that empty box. Explore your closets, rooms, and garage. Keep it simple and see how it feels to see your environment without these items. Happy tax deductions and happy peaceful home!
