Salvation Army bells are ringing, Toys for Tots drives and Mitten trees are filling work lobbies, people line up to volunteer at soup kitchens. I'm all for these things and other holiday spirited charity drives like Share-a-Christmas.
I thought I'd share some really cool organization where you can donate old stuff year round. Let's be honest, these things are just cluttering our homes anyhow!
