my friend owns a music studio and they're doing a clothing drive fundraiser - you bring the donations to the charity, and the charity pays you by the pound. this charity is linked with Savers retail thrift stores.
anyhoo, i batched 2 lawn bags of clothing and linen, and will be bringing over some used shoes and sandals tonight. the shoes are drying after i washed them in the washer with Lysol laundry disinfectant. it's barely the tip of the iceberg, but a good catalyst. i also got my sister to donate - she came up with a good amount herself that i dropped off at the studio. i also came up with a bag of clothes for my niece's kids in case they're interested.

I am sorry. I am just seeing your post now. I will pm the link to the article. It could have been three times as long, but they had space limitations.

my decluttering plans for spring break are not going well. I managed to post a few things on ebay but not one watcher. I'm sure it's the COV19. I'm trying to decide if I hold on to the more valuable things and post them later or toss it all in a thredup bag.

I might get some purging done over the next week. But where I am shaking and just anxious to attack is my library.
We closed yesterday until April 1. We had planned to have some staff work on de-cluttering, cleaning closets, departments, weeding etc. I was so happy. Then one person suggested we don't and the director went in another direction. I feel this is such a missed opportunity for us. We are getting our carpets cleaned and the library industrialized cleaned but our closets. Goodness, there is so much junk. I have to chain myself to my office not to go down to all the departments, especially Youth Services and just start pitching. But they are not my departments so I have to stay calm. Mary |
