Girls Bedroom “Welcome Home” Kit donated by a Seaside Styling & Organizing client
Oftentimes the hardest part of the decluttering process is letting go of items that are in perfectly good shape but aren’t used or needed any more. Knowing that these items will be enjoyed and used by someone else can make it much easier to let go with gratitude.
I am so excited to have found a partnership opportunity with the Good Shepherd Center here in Wilmington that will put those gently used but no longer needed items directly into the hands of people in need.
Welcome Home Kits
Seaside Styling & Organizing clients will now have the opportunity to donate their gently used or new items to create Welcome Home Kits for the men, women and children the Good Shepherd Center is helping transition into housing.
