Spring Has Sprung — And So Has Spring Cleaning!

With the warmer weather here to stay (fingers crossed!), it finally feels like spring has officially arrived. And with that comes the urge to freshen up our homes — whether it’s a multi-room purge or just a bit of tidying up.

Spring cleaning often leaves us with items we’re not quite sure what to do with. While national donation centers like Goodwill and the Salvation Army are great options, we wanted to spotlight a few local organizations that would love to receive your gently used items — and put them to good use right here in our community.

Before donating, be sure to visit each organization’s website for their list of accepted items and current needs.
