GiveBackBox - ingenuity to the rescue

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Casual Uncluttering LLC

These are dark days, my friends. Goodwills and other non-profits across America are closed, leaving the cars, garages, sheds, basements, attics and closets of Professional Organizers and their clients in maddening condition.

 

There is hope. We're all buying necessities online right now and having them shipped to us. Empty that box of its 50 cans of tuna and 200 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, stuff it as full as you can of donation-quality items, go to GiveBackBox, get a pre-printed pre-paid label from GiveBackBox to a worthy charity and get that thing to a UPS, FedEx or USPS drop-off center NOW. Voila! I'll let you go online and read GiveBackBox's story and mission for yourself - not sure I'd do it justice.

 

There are more-complicated details about the possibility of limitations as to where you can drop things off. And there are a surprisingly limited number of recipient agencies accepting donations. But every single donation counts.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS Tee hee. You know as well as I do that there are months on end here when we wouldn't dare. I cheated a bit with that photo - it's actually from a Day of  Service a bunch of my colleagues and I from the NAPO Seattle Area Chapter gave to Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center in Woodinville waaaay back on 6-15-2019.

HI Lauren Williams, CPO - I never was one to follow the crowd. Whew! I'm glad I don't shop on line and buy huge quantities. I can't imagine having all those extra boxes laying around in the rain or cluttering the earth. 

Professional organizing and proper disposal is something to educate for the benefit of the greater good.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP I admit I agree. I only shop in bulk for business supplies. I got through 25 - 50 boxes a month! Lauren
