Thanks for this thread, I read it and started to simplify my life a little bit. It just reminded me how much "stuff" I moved here 4 years ago and have not seen or used. I had hubby bring up some tubs from the basement and I've been filling them for him to take to work (he works and a mission with a clothing/household pantry) and piles of household goods for the womens shelter a block away. I know that here in Michigan the need for clothing and household goods, as well as food, is great. I'm sure the situation is the same in many parts of the country, greater now in the area's of disaster. Giving a little bit of our "stuff" can make a difference to those with great need. |
