As National Gratitude Month unfolds, we're reminded that true abundance isn't about what we have – it's about what we share. This holiday season, we're excited to bring back our beloved 20 Days of Giving Checklist with a fresh twist for 2024.

Think of it as your roadmap to meaningful decluttering: a chance to lighten your load while lifting up our Indianapolis community. Before the holiday whirlwind sweeps in (and brings more stuff with it!), let's create space for what really matters.

We've updated our comprehensive guide to make your giving journey even easier. Click the button below to download your own copy (and then spread the joy by sharing with your family and friends). Whether you have old tech gathering dust or a former professional wardrobe holding memories, there's a local organization ready to transform your excess into impact.

Let's make this holiday season about giving back, spreading joy, and celebrating the abundance we're fortunate enough to share. Join us on a 20-day journey of generosity – your clutter might just be someone else's blessing waiting to happen.

And be sure to check out our comprehensive Donate + Do Good Donation Guide for even more ways to spread local love.
