It’s time to say out with the old and give new life to new or gently-used items you may not need.
In the spirit of decluttering, and removing items that don’t bring you joy, we’ve rounded up a list of 10 San Antonio organizations that accept donated items that help locals in need + support community causes.
For the large hauls
The San Antonio Humane Society accepts car donations to help provide funding for the care of the thousands of homeless animals in the Alamo City.
Letting go of clothing
