What and Where to Donate to Those in Need This Holiday Season
We at Access Self Storage understand that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can still end up collecting more physical clutter than you intended. Aunt Helen’s chair may become more of an obstacle than an heirloom. That box of your sister’s dishes you thought you needed? You don’t want them anymore. And neither does your sister!
Decluttering
Whether you’re compelled to do a little seasonal cleaning or a purge of your storage unit, you’ll likely end up with household items you don’t need any longer. Especially in the midst of the holiday season, we urge you to find a charitable organization to which to donate furniture, clothing, toys, and other gently used belongings. It doesn’t have to be complicated; there are various local groups that even offer donation pickup services at your home, porch, or curb.
