Before the holiday craze

Thats definitely an important thing to think of. When I was younger I was always involved in a church donating. We used to go out to Wal-mart and buy a lot of things off of wish lists of kids. It felt good to give back to people who aren't as fortunate as me. Now whenever my mom asks if I have any clothes to donate to charity I always look through my closet and things that don't fit or that I just don't wear anymore.

Hello cricket Yes it is a very good job that you did and every one should do it.I always give my old cloths to my nearby poor people.It always helpful to them and if everyone do a little much help then it will solve much problems of those poor.And also it brings some happiness to us even when you are not going to use that stuffs so why not any other can use that and also they need it.

The weather has been very hot and today it is back to normal. Yes, it is great to go drawers and closets getting rid of anythings no used anymore. This is called clutter clearing and it is lovely to give to charity. Some people can't afford much and so it is wonderful for them to get second hand stuff like clothes and furniture at a low price. I am glad that you are having an enjoyable and useful time before the holiday craze.

I find myself doing this 2 or 3 times a year... Early spring, early summer, and just as autumn begins to feel like winter.. :P I used to give a lot of the expensive clothing items to a neighbor for her daughter, but the girl was always running around outside and tearing them up right away because the parents wouldnt tell her not to. I gave her a $70 sweatshirt someone bought me once and the girl was wearing it as a playshirt. So I quit giving stuff to them after that happened enough times. There are no actual charities where I live. There are thrift stores that just take the stuff for free and sell it - and of course, they charge more for the designer items. So stuff now has a tendency to pile up around here until I bug everyone that I know in the family to see if they or someone they know might actually be in need.

I always think to donate my old stuffs to other people who may actually need them. Specially in holidays my family usually gather our old stuffs that we don't use anymore. After gathering all that old stuffs we usually give those old stuffs to the worker on our farm. When I say old stuff they are still very usable, it is just we don't use it anymore. Instead of keeping them letting those things to get ruined because of their oldness why not share them. Well that is the spirit of holidays. Give and share my friends.

i was actually doing the same thing...i thought i was the only one. sometimes when we are too busy we just put things in our drawers and cabinets and attend to it later when we have enough time. I do consider other's needs. I donate things i found still useful in my closet. Specially this holiday season, at least we can help them feel somebody cares for them. God bless you in what you plan to do...

Unfortunately I rarely find something that I can donate because I myself don't use it or need it. Most of the times I donate money at Christmas time so I think it's as good as donating actual things. At least I hope my money goes to good causes, who knows these days:S

I haven't experience donating my old stuff to someone (other people), because I usually give it to my relatives. But having said that, maybe I will try this year. Helping others bring great happiness in me, especially to a less fortunate people.
