Organizations that can benefit from 40 bags in 40 days

I've recently begun my 3rd year of "40 bags in 40 days" ( you can read the details HERE) and it gets me excited when I think about the organizations I can donate to while ridding my home of unwanted things.  I know there are many people not only following along, but also participating in this 40 day journey with me so I wanted to give you a few places you can send your unwanted, but still good quality items.  

Today I went through my kids clothes and found a nice pile that I plan to donate to Cradles to Crayons Philadelphia.  Cradles to Crayons (C2C) is a charity near & dear and as a mother, the idea of children needing basic supplies is troubling.  C2C assists children in the Philadelphia area, "from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive - at home, at school and at play." C2C provides these supplies for free to children in need & they need donations of gently used & new children clothing & supplies in order to fulfill this mission. 

If you have old sheets & towels taking up way too much room in your linen closet, the Delaware County SPCA is always looking for donations to help keep the animals comfortable during their stay at the shelter!  

Check through your pantry & if you have food that you no longer eat or just have too much to use before it expires, Philabundance is just one organization who will take your donations & help distribute it to people in need, again in the Delaware Valley-helping neighbors.  

There are  so many other organizations,So clean out  Purple Heart, Goodwill Services, Mothers Homes, Homeless Shelters who are all in need of donations daily-lets see if we can help them!
