Has all of this time at home finally given you that “time” you’ve been dreaming about?

I know I spent April, when I was home most, organizing every closet we had out of boredom. I’ve seen many posts around social media showing people doing the same — finally purging all of that stuff you never actually needed. I’ve also seen people wondering if donations are still being accepted during this time of COVID-19.

If you’re tackling a summer clean out, please consider donating your items to these organizations:

• Community Cares Vienna — Collecting food donations for food insecure families and coordinating efforts for clothing for families
• Buy Nothing Project: Give away things for free
• Share of McLean
• Unique Merrifield
• Goodwill in Fairfax
• Habitat for Humanity in Herndon
• Freecycle
• Vietnam Veterans of America — you can schedule an online pick up at your home. They especially need clothes in addition to household goods
• GreenDrop — They support National Federation of the Blind, Purple Heart, American Red Cross, and can provide you with a drop off location or scheduled a pick up at your home
