I give old towels, blankets, and sheets to local animal shelters, they can really use them year round.

I'm about to go through my four sets of bookshelves and purge them to get them down to 3. I plan on having an old board buddy look through them next weekend to see what she wants.

Household items - our local women's shelter loves getting stuff like this - they really need it for women who are starting over with nothing. I like giving stuff to them, because someone in need is truly getting it, vice just giving it to a charity that sells it.
