It’s 2012, time to get organized and start the New Year off right! After you’ve sorted through your garage, looked through your drawers and cabinets, and gone through each piece of clothing in your closet, odds are you are left with a mound of things. Things you no longer need, but know that someone else does.
Imagine if that suit you love, but just doesn’t quite fit anymore, could help someone get a job. What if that bike your children have outgrown could have a new life with a child who has been abused or neglected? Think about the wheelchair gathering dust in a closet in your house that could help an elderly person find mobility?
The answer is donating your items at the “Clear Your Clutter Day” on Saturday, January 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Bethany United Methodist Church (located at 10010 Anderson Mill Road, Austin, TX 78750. This great event is put on by the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO.)
