If you haven’t already, set up a donation station in your home. For us, it’s a small table in the basement. Whenever the kids are getting dressed and a shirt doesn’t fit, or a pair of shoes is too snug, they know exactly where it goes. This keeps things organized and helps me avoid hunting through closets wondering which clothes still fit.
Here’s how to make it work for your family:
-
Choose Your Spot – It can be a table, a corner, a paper sack, or a box in your closet. The key is that it’s easy to access and everyone knows where it is.
-
Decide Where Donations Go – Whether it’s a friend, a second-hand store, or your church, have a plan for where these items will go so they don’t linger in your home.
-
Make It a Habit – Encourage your family to add items as soon as they outgrow or no longer use them. This keeps your home simpler and your life less cluttered.
-
Check Regularly – Once a month (or whatever works for you), gather the items and drop them off. Your donation station stays fresh, and your home stays organized.
A simple donation station is an easy, practical way to keep your home tidy and teach children the joy of giving. Small steps like this can make a big difference in your daily life!
