Even More Ways to Give Your Stuff Away!

We have heard from several long term unemployed families that will participate in our challenge. That is humbling to me. There is not one of us who does not have something to give from our closets, drawers and pantry. A loved one of ours is a little worried it sounds like bragging to report herself for doing any of these things. We disagree! This is for fun, to get us moving and to inspire each other! This is simply an acknowledgement that so many of us have so much more than we need or can handle and there are remedies to that wonderful problem that will bless many.

Will you join us? Will you free yourself from the endless cycle of storing each weeks/years collected piles and see if there is someone who needs that stuff right now? Will you sell something you bought for more long ago for less and let that money be used for something great in your community?

We will take entries for this week until Saturday at midnight and then a new week of being able to enter begins. We created a separate email to help us be organized but let us know your information however you are able.

Let's fill up our local clothing closets and food banks this month!!

Blessings,
Karen and Jeff

CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSET GIVEAWAY!!

Here are the rules.

The giveaway will run from right now until April 30th. We have 5 prizes ready and hopefully we can add to that as we go. We will be giving away five 25.00 Amazon gift cards. If anyone has anything else they would like to put up as a prize to be won just get in touch with us. We'd love that. This giveaway is mostly all on the honor system as I cannot check these donations(other than to the pregnancy center) in any practical way. So we will keep it simple. You can earn one entry for each of these things no more than one a week until this ends. The weeks will end on Saturday. The last week will have just two days and all entries will need to be in by midnight Eastern time on April 30th. We will announce the winners the next day on this blog.



****WAYS TO ENTER*****  (1 Entry Per Week for each one of these options) 

1) make a monetary donation to The Pregnancy Care Center of Martinsville and Henry County
(The Paypal link is now correct)

2)Make a donation to your local food pantry

3)make a donation of clothing or household items to a clothing closet or Good Will,etc.*

4)donate some books to your local library, preschool, homeless shelter or retirement home

5)clean out your stuff and give it to someone who can use it(family with kids in that size, a gift, etc) or resell it on Craigslist, a garage sale, or any kind of resale or fundraising event.

======================================

You can earn up to 7 entries total each week in this way. Each Sunday we will start the count over again. At the end, on April 30th(Jeff's birthday) we will use random.org to pick our winners. So once you do any of these things just come back and leave a comment or send us an email:

jeffandkarenb@gmail.com

Tell us which things you did/how many entries. If you like, also tell us what you found in your home and gave. Don't forget to leave us a name and email address. Again, you can email us at jeffandkarenb@gmail.com if you would like your comments to be private.

We have been blessed in all kinds of new ways as we discovered that we are rich in "stuff" that we no longer need or shouldn't have obtained to begin with. We hope you will likewise be blessed as you seek to be a blessing.
