I love this community. www.freecycle.org It is proof that one person's trash is another person's treasure. I have been able to give away things I no longer needed to people in great need including clothing my children had outgrown, some old furniture, toys, books, and even an old couch! If you are decluttering, or if you NEED something, I strongly suggest this group. I have seen everything from food to furniture given away. The rules are fairly simple:
1) The item must be given freely.
2) The one receiving the item must pick it up.
3) Nothing illegal can be given away. Also no porn or things like that.
Really, its that simple. It is a blessing for people. I was able to get new clothes to replace the ones my children had outgrown through this group. What ever we can do to cut the costs, and help one another, is a good thing, right?
