When you find your new home, consider the homeless!

Cleaning out? Call me- The local homeless shelters need clean, unripped/unstained clothing and shoes for their shelter residents!
I've been volunteering at the Charlotte Shelter, working with people to help them find jobs. You'd be amazed at the paths some lives have taken. I've seen men and women so over-qualified there are no positions, and without employment they lose their home. They continue to search for work, living with a bag of clothes and a heart full of memories. It's really not what you think. Mothers, fathers and children are trying to stay together. They are hoping this is just a temporary hiccup in their world.

Call the local shelter if you need movers, yard care, house cleaning. Pay them well, knowing you are doing the right thing to help your someday neighbor get back on their feet and enjoy the wonderful excitement of their own home!
