Are you tackling more organizing projects while quarantined? Wondering where, and if, you can donate your goods to their next highest good? We got you covered! Here are a few of our favorite national and local resources.

SF BAY AREA & LOCAL

SF Smiles: We LOVE this organization for so many reasons. Right now, they are looking for specific items so please be sure to read this through before contacting for donation. Chad, the founder, lists his hours for donation, which changes weekly and links to a google doc on his website. If you'd like to learn more about him and the organization, check out this interview we did with him in September.
Buy Nothing. This is one of our favorite resources to get in the practice of a gift economy! Using the free platform provided by Facebook Groups, you can quickly get rid of things that are cluttering your space or save money by getting things for free... all while building community. Start by finding your local group.
Post for a "no contact pickup" on Nextdoor, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, LetGo and other online platforms.

Schoola is an amazing organization for donations. Fill a box with gently worn clothes, print a label and leave the box for the mail carrier. It’s that easy! They sort and sell your items for you and give 40% of the sales proceeds to your school or a partner cause.
