|      Many of us have things we rarely, if ever, use.  Months and years go by and these things sit in our closets, attics and garages - not used. Things like clothes, furniture, sporting  goods, kitchenware, and art work, etc. 
            
            Giving away things you don't use has a lot of advantages: 
            
              - It can simplify your life and free up space.
  
              - It reduces the number of natural resources we, as a nation, must use to sustain our life style.
  
              - Removing clutter can free your energy and allow you to focus on your life's work.
  
              - It helps other people by allowing them to acquire things they couldn't afford otherwise.
  
              - You may be able to deduct a part of the value of these items on your  tax return.
