WAIT: WE NEED YOUR HELP

Many come to us for help. This time we need yours. 
We are at risk of shutting down. Can you help us maintain this vital resource?
We run a tight ship and operate as a lean, all-volunteer organization—every little bit helps. We truly value every donor and every dollar. We need $3,600 by December 1 to bridge the gap and move forward. Our goal is to secure funding for an update that will help reduce future operating costs. Thank you for your support!

Overwhelmed by too much stuff?
​

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Research conducted over the past several years shows that a majority of Americans worry that their homes are not organized — and say it’s a big cause of stress. Nearly half of homeowners are afraid to face the clutter in their homes. 
But there is hope. Donating items can be both practical and rewarding.

Why Donating Your Stuff Matters
​

MAKE A BIG IMPACT​
​Most people don't realize that donating puts good items back into use and is one of the best things you can do for the environment. In fact, it has multiple times the impact of recycling. Donating also results in more successful decluttering. Because selling requires more time and effort, it more often results in unwanted items staying in your attic, garage, or on your shelves. When you give what you no longer need, you help people in your community, leaving you with fewer things and more good feelings.

Find the Best Home For Your Donations

If you have tried to donate many different items, you know it can be a challenge. 
​Donate Good Stuff was created from a personal desire to find a better solution for donating. The founder, Jennifer, and her mother were trying to find new homes for sentimental and useful items after several family members had passed. It was difficult and time-consuming. She saw the need for a better way to make donating easy and created Donate Good Stuff so anyone can find a good home for donations. (Read our story HERE)  

Why Donate Good Stuff? ​

The DonateGoodStuff.org search does what a Google Search or published list cannot. Quickly find organizations nearby that need exactly what you have. Search by specific items or categories, or even by organizations that offer pick-up services. You'll automatically get a customized list based on what is closest so you can spend the least time (and fuel) to do good for your neighbors and the planet. Clear descriptions of what donations are accepted give you confidence that your items are needed and will be put to good use.
Donate Good Stuff provides a quick solution for an easy and effective donation experience, no matter where you live. We have been making connections since 2014, and continue to match thousands of donors and organizations each year. We've made it our mission (Read more HERE)
