Win/Win By Giving to Charity

Give your local church or synagogue a call; they might need second-hand items for their office or for their many programs. Charitable organizations are often in dire need of second hand and or obsolete items. You can help them to cover many of their needs.

Many groups are able to use second-hand items in their philanthropic work – such as Goodwill Industries providing jobs, Habitat for Humanity with home building projects, Save The Family with much needed household items and clothing, and Friend to Friend for children's games and educational work/resume writing for women in their shelters.

By donating your second-hand items to one of your local worthy and needy schools or agencies or one of the national foundations mentioned above and on our Web site, you will be part of a Win/Win situation.

You can dispose of your unwanted second-hand items in exchange for a tax deduction. You will also be providing opportunities to students or others in need. By recycling your used, obsolete, and surplus second-hand items, you are saving valuable landfill space.

This is your opportunity to become an important link in the giving chain. You may find a more comprehensive list of charitable organizations listed at www.AtoZOrganizingPros.com/Charitable_Organizations.htm
