Why get organized?
Did you know that by doing a bit of home organizing, you can provide much needed support for your Chicago communities? When you organize your home, you end up with stuff you don’t need.

Those extra shoes, sweaters, books, toys, and other household items can make a great impact on the lives’ of those in need. Helping others can be so rewarding. It is so easy to do your part for the community by donating your unwanted items.
These local charities make it so easy for you to donate. They will pick up your donated items for free from your Chicago home and on a day that is convenient for you. Our local Chicago charities all support causes that are close to our hearts and we urge you to show your support and help those around you. It is so important to come together as a community to show that those in need are not alone.
You are also helping to protect our natural environment when you donate those unwanted items rather than adding them to our landfills. We urge you to let these items be reused and put them to good use. In order to protect our ecosystem for generations to come, we must start now and take these small steps towards conservation. It is so important not to take our clear waters, colorful flowers and life giving forests for granted. Our entire planet has been affected by pollution and over consumption; however we can still do this small part to try to reverse these negative consequences.
Start by doing a little organizing around your home. Many of those items that just lay around can be put to good use elsewhere and provide support for local Chicago Charities.
