Spring Cleaning: Donate Outgrown Goods With Resupply

As parents, we go through the same dilemma more often than we’d like: Our kids outgrow things. Emma shot up last year and needs new shin guards for soccer. Liam has moved from his GI Joe phase to his Lego phase. There are space-consuming stockpiles of items that are no longer used, but still may have value.

What do you do with these stockpiles? You probably don’t just throw them away, which leaves the option of selling or donating. Some items might be worth selling, but the Craigslist approach may be more hassle than it’s worth.

Donating our unwanted items to a charity is a way to declutter our homes and give back to the community. This is often time consuming with our already packed schedules. Google charities. Sift through ads. Find an address. Gather stuff. Drive. This is not how we like to spend our Saturdays. And now, we don’t have to.

Resupply, a new start-up in Atlanta, is out to change the way we donate. Their mission is to streamline the charitable donations process by linking donors and charities together on their app, effectively creating a virtual donations marketplace.

Once your account is set up, Resupply boasts a “five-tap” process to upload a photo of an item to donate, select a charity to donate to, schedule for the charity to pick up the item, and receive a digital tax credit. This is a drastically simplified donation process, and a means of decluttering our homes while helping those in need – a true win-win.

Instead of throwing out Emma’s outgrown soccer stuff, check out Resupply on the App Store or Google Play.
