Are you starting the new year with a closet clean-out? I am. Consider donating to these local donation sites.
Diaper banks
Diaper banks, like the Junior League of Tampa Diaper Bank + Babycycle, distribute unused diapers to families in need — find a donation location.
Women’s shelters
Consider donating last season’s clothes to a local women’s shelter like The Spring of Tampa Bay in Drew Park, which sells new and gently-used items to help survivors fund their next steps — see all accepted items.
Animal shelters
Don’t throw away your old towels. The Humane Society of Tampa Bay accepts them, and other items, for both cats and dogs.
Home Goods
You can also support local animals by donating items like antiques and clothing to the Treasure Hound, which helps fund the Friends of Homeless Animals shelter.
Local libraries
If you’re clearing out old books, consider donating them to Hillsborough County Public Library or Pinellas County Libraries.
