Where to Donate Locally

IMG_4442.JPG

With a background in the nonprofit world, Courtney began her business with the intention of always giving back and she even volunteers with some of these organizations. Joy in the Midst Creative prioritizes donating clothing in particular to organizations that provide them for free to families in crisis.

When clients are donate items following the decluttering process, we deliver them immediately following organizing sessions so you don’t have that added task. If you aren’t local, use this list or my “donate intentionally” Pinterest board for inspiration on what to search in your area.
