I thought I'd give you a heads up on this, but during the month of February I am going to put one item a day that I do not use or need into a garbage bag, and at the end of the month I will donate all items.
Some things to donate would be clothing from your closet. Shoes, hats, belts.
Books, puzzles, games, toys.
From your kitchen, extra dishes, cups, cutlery. Extra pictures, ornaments etc.
Extra craft supplies, like balls of wool, bags of notions.
Sheets, blankets and towels from your linen closet to give to the animal shelter.
Or you could put one item of food in a box each day for the month to donate to the food bank. Even packages of pasta, ramen or a tin of soup each day would be a help and not too expensive. Buying things on special would be a good way of adding too your box also.
I will give you another head's up closer to the end of the month, then during February I will post each day with what I have put into my bag.
Getting rid of 28 things in our house, would be helpful too kick start a Spring of decluttering.
Also for those Type A personalities; you know who you are....LOL You could do a bag of things to donate and a box of food to donate.........
Is this something that interests you? Do you have any other ideas of what to donate and/or to whom?
(P.S. giving you this heads, up will also give you a head start on gathering things together!!)

This is such a good thing to do. In the past I have done this in the spring for the 40 days of Lent- instead of Giving Up something, I have been Giving Away. God bless your generosity
This is a good idea. In year ?I put a food item a day in a box between Thanksgiving and Christmas as part of a promotion from our local food pantry. It was because their donations fall off after Christmas. I might try that again.
