Giving our gently loved items a second story

Cleaning out the house doesn’t have to mean sending everything to the landfill! When we come across quality furniture, household items, clothing, and other usable goods, we’re making an effort to pass them along to local organizations that can put them to good use.

It’s a simple way to clear out the clutter while helping neighbors and supporting great causes right here in our community. For larger items like furniture, home accessories, and building materials, consider donating to:

• Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity ReStore – A great option for furniture, building materials, appliances, and home improvement items.

• 2SHARE Inc. – An all-volunteer furniture bank that helps provide essential furnishings to local families in need.

• Rescue Mission of Cape Fear – Accepts a variety of household goods and clothing while supporting local programs and services.

• Assistance League of Greater Wilmington Thrift Shop – Donations and shop proceeds help support local philanthropic programs and community initiatives.

• The Sister Isaac Center - They are the bridge between those who are in need and those who want to help

Every donation helps keep useful items in circulation and gives them a chance to find a new home instead of ending up in the landfill.

Before tossing it, ask yourself: “Could someone else use this?” If the answer is yes, donating may be a great option!
