I found this article on MSN. With spring cleaning time coming soon I am always looking for a way of donating miscellaneous items around the house so others might get some use out of them. Here is a list of the different things you might donate and where. Here's the list(or check the article in the URL below) * Greeting cards. When you are done with your greeting cards you can send them to St.Jude's Ranch for Children. The children at this home for abused, neglected or homeless children can make new greeting cards out of the old ones. * Halloween costumes. Donate them to Goodwill. * Wire clothes hangers. Check with local dry cleaners to see if they take them. * Eyeglasses. The Lions Club has a program called a Lions Recycle for Sight program where they can get the glasses donated to those in need. * Stuffed animals. The Salvation Army, the Humane Society, and Stuffed Animals for Emergencies can use these for children in traumatic situations.

Some time we will need to go through all the stuff we have packed away in our garage. We donated about half of our stuff when we moved this last time but still had too much furniture and "stuff" to fit in this much smaller house. I know I can get rid of the furniture out there simply by placing it by the curb here. Mexicans will come by and take anything you're willing to let them take. There are several plastic totes with lids full of blankets I crocheted out there as well as totes of stuffed animals and a bunch of totes full of my books. There just isn't room for all the things we wanted to keep. But they aren't doing us any good stored in the garage. I don't think we've even looked at any of it since we stored it out there.

Mexicans are smart and imaginative. They can repurpose things. You could try selling the blankets at a garage sale. I sure buy one.

We got rid of more stuff than we should have during our 2014 purge. I am still thinking of things I wish we hadn't gotten rid of.

@DaddyEvil .......I had that happen to me. My ex threw out some old pan lids I had that had belonged to my grandmother and she had given them to me. I was at work and he was cooking. I was so upset with him. You should read my post about the heat here in the apartment. Eeegads!

@celticeagle Pretty did our purge before we moved. I was putting in extra hours working so left it all up to her. If she didn't need things, she didn't think I needed them either. A lot of things I would have kept got donated or thrown out. She didn't touch anything in my bedroom so I still have some of my things I thought most important. Other things we've had to buy again. I've wished some of the blankets were inside but I'm not braving the cold just to bring some of them back inside the house. Pretty is still keeping it too warm for me but she could have used a couple more so I could be more comfortable.
