SimplyOrganized Haul-Away Advantage
At the end of your decluttering service, we haul away purged items to be donated to benefit local agencies located within the north suburban suburbs of Chicago. Our donation locations are non-for-profit and include the Wings Program, Winnetka Thrift Shop, whose proceeds benefit the Counseling Center of the North Shore, New To You Resale Shop, YMCA Shop for Good, Salvation Army, A Just Harvest, Bernie’s Book Bank and many others.
When we help our clients declutter their closet, about 95% of the purged items are donated. With our goal always to aid the less fortunate in mind. We prefer to donate to smaller, local organizations where clients can see the direct impact of their donations within their community.
Below are 8 charities on the North Shore of Chicago that we donate to frequently. Remember that while these charities accept clothing, they also accept other items. Some give the clothes directly to people who need them while others resell them to raise funds for important causes.
We mostly donate to these smaller organizations:
Winnetka Thrift Shop - 100% of the Winnetka Thrift Shop proceeds benefit Counseling Center of the North Shore and is only run by volunteers.
New To You Charitable Resale Shop - they have donated between $32,000 – $50,000 to 12 local charities which benefit local families in need
North Shore Exchange - all their proceeds support Chicagoland charities providing services for children and families experiencing poverty, as well as Family Service of Glencoe.
WINGS services for families fleeing domestic violence are funded, in part, by all proceeds from our three resale stores
The Shop at the Center - put volunteers to work polishing, sorting, and selling merchandise to support NSSC’s mission of empowering older adults, their families, and the community. All sale proceeds directly benefit North Shore Senior Center
YWCA Shop for Good - 100% of profits help support YWCA’s domestic violence, economic advancement, and racial justice programs that serve women across northeastern Cook County.
