Giving It Away May Have More Of A Return Than You Think
-

Nice Article on how to think about getting rid of too much- Freecycle vs Craigs List

"1. I want this stuff out of here as quickly as possible

2. We don't get as much money for our things as we ever hope to.

3. Giving it away made me feel good."

"People are in need right now. When times are so economically tough for families,
when families cannot go out and purchase a new stroller “system” for their third baby
or a new 10-speed for the 11-year-old who just outgrew her bike in the middle of the summer,
friends and strangers who are willing to help are a blessing."

COMMUNITY WISH LIST OF SAN MATEO COUNTY
The idea behind the Community Wish List is simple. Instead of asking for checks, 
local nonprofit organizations list items they would like donated in order to serve
the community better. People find pleasure in giving gifts to others,
 particularly
things that might otherwise go into landfill
.
