It may not quite feel like Spring with all the fluctuation in temperatures but the truth is we are well into Spring and it is time to think about decluttering a few things. I am not sure how with all the supply change issues we had this past year I managed to junk up my house with a bunch of stuff I don't need, but I did and now it is time to clean house.

If you are like me and just want to move along some stuff that you think someone else would love and use, I may have found some places plus some events that will help you and even your community. My goal is to create some space around the house and hopefully my sharing this information will help you do the same.

Let's start with the simple and the small. If you need to donate or even want to make a few dollars on some small things you have around the house including books and small kitchen appliances, consider stopping by the Barn Again Thrift Shop at 1416 Route 44 in Pleasant Valley. They don't take furniture.

Another place to move things along that end up helping a good cause is your Local Goodwill. There are a variety of locations around the Hudson Valley. Find one close to you and make a pile of things you could drop off. According to their store locator, they are in Wappingers Falls, New Windsor, Kingston, Baldwin Place, Chappaqua, and Hudson, New York.
