As we embrace the dawn of a new year, it’s the perfect time to recognize that clearing clutter isn’t just about organizing —it’s a journey toward positive change. By decluttering and donating to Goodwill, you’re not just tidying up, you’re making a difference in someone’s life.
Why Organize?
Good for your Health
Organizing boosts well-being by reducing stress through improved focus, efficiency, and task prioritization. It creates a safer, clutter-free environment that positively impacts mental health, mood, and confidence, ultimately enhancing overall well-being.

Your donations fuel a cycle of support, helping local individuals with disabilities and disadvantages gain job training and career support. By connecting your act of decluttering with donating to Goodwill, you’re directly contributing to empowering others through opportunities for training and employment.
