How to donate to charity
It made me
Glad
 "Stuff. Into boxes. Boxes into truck. Truck to Deseret Industries. Boxes out of truck. Receipt in hand. Done. Yay!"
How I did it: Last August I moved into an apartment that really wasn't big enough to hold all my stuff, so I had to identify what I wanted to get rid of. Some of it is going to be put up on eBay, but others I decided to give to charity. After having grown up in Idaho and Utah, I'm familiar with Deseret Industries, which is kinda the Mormon equivalent of the Salvation Army or Good Will. I like what they do to help families that are down on their luck-- they run welfare farms where people can help out growing food for themselves and others. They're a charity that I like a lot. They also will take almost anything-- that is, anything short of garbage! Old, ratty clothes they'll shred into ribbons and make rag rugs out of them. Nothing goes to waste-- if they get it, they'll likely figure something out to do with it. One of the reasons I like them.

How I did it: My boyfriend and me registered for the Flint Zombie Walk. Cities around the world celebrate a day of dressing up as zombies and donating food + money. The money from all the participants went to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan which has a four (out of four) star rating on Charity navigator. We had a good time moaning and groaning at local pedestrians and enjoyed tasty desserts right after. Read how I did it…

Compressing!
4 months ago
I decided that I have way too much stuff (surprise!) and that letting lots of the trinkets and smaller stuffed animals go that I don’t really care about was the right thing to do. I also threw in some older electronics and clothing that I knew wouldn’t be useful to me anymore. I went to a Salvation Army, dropped them off, and don’t miss a thing!
Given stuff to charity

When decluttering gave stuff to Oxfam and Shelter and I think some others. It’s a good way to declutter and also to give to charity.

Four bags of this and that, clothes mostly, finally gone. It’s nice to have that tiny extra patch of space on the floor. Not that it will last long, I imagine.
This means I get to buy four bags’ worth of new stuff, right?

I already give quite a bit to charity…I always donate to the local second hand store (atleast 6 times a year). i guess that since I have been doing it for so long, that I forgot that it was ‘charity’...
I have also donated blood. I guess what I would like to work on is giving more $$$. I guess I could sign off on this goal once I do that.
Not what I had in mind, but...

Basically I just adopted this goal to dump my stuff at the Salvation Army. That hasn’t happened yet, but heck, I’m moving in a month, so I might as well wait so I can clean out all my stuff and get it all there.
But in other donation-related news, today I officially became a member of Minnesota Public Radio. I’ve been stealing The Current for years now, so I’m making up for lost time.
Oh! And last month I became a Friend of the local Library.

OK, I finally managed to corner my coworker with the truck and get her to commit to helping me out on Saturday (I do have enough chivalry to carry all the heavy boxes myself… ;) ) Can’t wait to get rid of this stuff…
