Letting go of possessions before planning to downsize

What I would most appreciate is a list of the types of places one can take items that I can remove from my home. My church has no "garage" type sale; I don't know of any churches that do. I do know of a homeless shelter that takes clothing. There are also several thrift shops in town. And there is a place that provides used furniture to people who have no furniture who are moving into a home that has no furniture. I guess I'm solving my own dilenma. There ARE places to take things. Now all l need to do is get them out the door and into the SUV.

I was amazed at how much our local Goodwill took. Many items, especially clothing, are sent overseas if not sold locally. Veterans organizations, Habitat for Humanity, and Hartspring Foundation (in CT or possibly other states?) all take furniture and other items. Of course there are the auction or estate organizations that will come to your house and view your items. Tag sales aren’t for me, but many have been successful running them (especially if you participate in a town one). Hope this list helps.
