As summer winds down and the new school year approaches, it’s the perfect time to get organized and declutter your home. At Goodwill, we believe in the power of giving back and making a positive impact in our community.

By donating a bag of your gently used items to Goodwill, you not only help support our mission but also receive a 20% off coupon for your next purchase of $20 or more. Let’s explore how you can make the most of this opportunity to declutter, get organized, and save on school essentials.

Donate to Get Your 20% Off Coupon

Donating to Goodwill is a simple and impactful way to give back to the community. When you donate your gently used items, such as clothing, books, toys, and household goods, you help support job training and employment programs for people in your local area.

Decluttering in Preparation for the New School Year

Decluttering before the new school year can help create a more organized and stress-free environment for your family. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Sort Through Clothes: Go through yours and your children’s wardrobes and set aside clothes that no longer fit or are no longer worn. Donate these items to Goodwill to make space for new school outfits.
2. Clean Out the Playroom: Sort through toys, books, and games, and donate items that your children have outgrown or no longer use. This will help create a more organized and tidy play area.
3. Organize School Supplies: Gather all the school supplies from last year, such as notebooks, pens, and backpacks. Donate any extras or items that are still in good condition but no longer needed.

School Year Organization Tips

Starting the school year with an organized home can set the tone for a successful and stress-free year. Here are some organization tips to help you get ready:

1. Create a Homework Station: Set up a designated area for homework and studying. Use desks, chairs, and storage bins to keep supplies organized and easily accessible.
2. Use a Family Calendar: Keep track of important dates, such as school events, extracurricular activities, and appointments, with a family calendar. This helps everyone stay on the same page and manage their time effectively. You can find cork boards or large frames to DIY your own calendar and family board.
3. Label Everything: Use labels to organize school supplies, lunchboxes, and backpacks. This makes it easy for your children to find what they need and keep their items in order.
4. Set Up a Morning Routine: Establish a morning routine to help kids get ready for school efficiently. This can include laying out clothes the night before, packing lunches, and having a designated spot for backpacks and shoes.
