How cool is it that Goodwill is making it  easy to donate!  The forms are online and so easy to use.  They made maps for each donation site.  It's awesome!  I love seeing non-profits step it up to make it so easy for people to give things to others.  http://www.sfgoodwill.org/MaterialDonationsForm.aspx

Glide, another organization I give time to, has also a great online site that makes it so easy for me to sign up for the days I am going to help out.  (Hint hint, come join me)  As does HOBA and volunteermatch.

The Red Cross on the other hand, much more difficult.  It strikes me, and I say this as a healthcare professional, that the majority of healthcare related service companies do a pretty poor job of making it easy for people to donate time, money, or stuff.  Fascinating as they are in the business to help people. 

'Tis the season, go give some of your stuff away.  Other people need it especially this year.  The post office "Dear Santa" letters have been all about basic necessities this year instead of games and toys.  I'm sure there is something in your house you don't use and someone else would love to have.
