Wonderful Places to Donate Unused Gifts in Massachusetts

It happens every year, the holidays come and go, as do birthdays and wedding anniversaries, and we are always left with those one or two gifts we never used. Massachusetts residential movers know that when preparing for a move, the first thing we do is cleanse ourselves of unwanted items that we immediately declare as trash. This year, hang onto those unwanted gifts. They can be donated to families in need during the holiday season.

If you are new to the state and are looking for places to donate unused gifts in Massachusetts this holiday season, the Massachusetts local movers of All My Sons Moving & Storage have a few recommendations.

Where to Donate Gifts During the Holidays

The best places to donate unused gifts in Massachusetts during the holidays are usually churches. Most churches will have a donation box where you can drop off your items. They may also hold a drive or fundraiser where you can donate as well. During the holidays, there’s usually a Christmas tree next to a wish list for children and families in need so you know what they’re looking for specifically. Don’t just limit yourself to your unused gifts, get into the spirit and ask friends and family if they have any of the items on the list they’d be willing to donate or purchase some of them yourself.

 

Holiday Volunteer Opportunities in Massachusetts

If you find that you don’t have any items to donate during the holidays, you can always share your most valuable gift with the less fortunate—time.

During the holiday season, these are just a few of the organizations where you can volunteer in Boston:

  1. Greater Boston Food Bank
  2. Pine Street Inn
  3. Boston Rescue Mission
  4. Community Servings
  5. United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley
  6. The Elizabeth Peabody House Emergency Food Pantry
  7. Somerville Homeless Coalition

 

Not from Boston? Not a problem! Search for charities who need volunteers in your area and bring some festive cheer to your community.

 

Corporate Donations

If you are a business owner getting ready to move your company to Massachusetts during the holiday season, our Massachusetts corporate movers recommend hosting your own fundraiser or charity event collecting monetary contributions as well as material donations in collaboration with a local non-profit. If planning an entire event seems overwhelming after your company’s complex moving process, our professional movers suggest even a simple donation to help a local charity achieve its holiday mission in the community. It’s a great way to give back as a company and introduce yourself to the city.

 

After this holiday season, if you were gifted items you won’t really use, don’t quite fit, or you already have, call our trusted Massachusetts movers to help you carefully them up and store them. We offer packing supplies, not to mention our moving services and storage solutions to house these items until the next holiday season. Next year, you’ll already know the best places to donate unused in gifts in Massachusetts so you can get rid of all those additional items and spread some holiday cheer.
