January is Get Organized (GO) month, and Goodwill is here to help by transforming your generous donations into vital community services.
Entering a new year frequently inspires positive life changes like decluttering and simplifying, so it’s no surprise that January is officially designated as Get Organized (GO) month. If getting organized has topped your list of New Year’s resolutions, let Ohio Valley Goodwill put you on the right track. It’s as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Start Small: If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the thought of organizing your whole home, try tackling the room or area where clutter is causing the biggest challenge. Is the garage too full for the car to fit in? Does closet clutter make mornings a hassle? Having trouble finding space for your holiday gifts? Attack those areas first. You might feel so inspired by your small decluttering victories that you expand your GO efforts to the rest of the house.
2. Sort and Inspect: Ohio Valley Goodwill is happy to accept most used clothing and household items. Visit www.cincinnatigoodwill.org/donate for a list of all 33 Greater Cincinnati donation locations.
3. Head to Goodwill: Visit www.cincinnatigoodwill.org to find your nearest donation site. By making a donation to Goodwill, you not only help clear cutter, but you also help members of the community attain vital job skills, explore employment opportunities and make a positive social impact in the Greater Cincinnati community.
For more than 100 years, Ohio Valley Goodwill has been helping people with disabilities and our nation’s veterans to receive skill training and get jobs in the Greater Cincinnati community. Goodwill also helps to recycle more than 53,000,000 pounds of donated materials each year, diverting them from area landfills.

Happy January organizing!
