The summer went by so fast! I am thrilled to get my kids off to the first day of school and they were both thrilled to be going back.
I’m a creature of habit and routine and I’m taking the day to clear out, clean up and get everyone into a new routine. If you’re anything like me and can’t wait to dig into their stuff while they’re gone, please consider some of these places to donate your items.
Of course there’s always the option to sell items as well, but if you want to just drop it all off, here’s a list of places:
Women Giving Back — Sterling, Virginia They’re accepting women and children’s casual, professional and formal attire, shoes (like new), maternity apparel and winter gear. They don’t accept books, toys or car seats. Check their calendar for drop off times as the days and times can vary.
Second Story — Vienna, Virginia Donations of items like food, clothing, personal hygiene supplies, and household items help teen mothers and homeless teens.
CHO – Vienna, Virginia Accepting donations of food (PBJ, small canned hams, oil, canned fruit), boys and men’s clothing, bath towels, and furniture.
Children’s Hospital — Washington, D.C. Don’t forget about Dr. Bear’s Closet. It’s looking for brand new, in-original packing, non-toxic and no latex items with tags. For infection reasons, they do not accept anything used.
Buy Nothing (3 different Vienna Facebook groups based on location) — You can give away items to people in your community
