Donating to charity is a good way to clear out unwanted items and give them to people in need.
Donating personal items is a great way to get rid of unwanted things around the house and contribute to a charity in your area. South Florida is home to charities such as ASAP Homeless in St. Petersburg, Feeding South Florida and the Paws 4 You Animal Rescue in Miami. Whether you have clothing, toiletries, pet toys or office supplies, with a little research, you can find the perfect place to donate your personal items where they're most needed.
Instructions
1. Determine the types of personal items you have to donate. Many charities publish lists of what they are specifically in need of. The types of items you can offer will help you choose the right charity for your donation.
2. If you have primarily household goods, toiletries, clothing or office supplies, consider donating to a homeless shelter or women's shelter in South Florida. Charities such as ASAP Homeless in St. Petersburg, the Miami Rescue Mission and the Sulzbacher Center in Jacksonville all accept donations of items.
3. If you have food or kitchen appliances to donate, look into food banks and soup kitchens. In South Florida, Feeding South Florida, Stop Hunger Now in Miami and the Treasure Coast Food Bank in Fort Pierce all accept donations of food and some kitchen items.
4. If you have any animal related items such as food or toys, many animal rescue organizations would appreciate the donations. Organizations such as Paws 4 You in Miami, Animal Aid in Boca Raton and the Tri-County Humane Society serving Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties all take donations of pet supplies.
5. Check with the charity you chose to donate to for specific pick-up times or drop-off locations.
