No matter where you live in Massachusetts, chances are there's a Goodwill shop not too far from your home which is convenient. Whether you live in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, the Berkshires, and everywhere in between, Goodwill is probably nearby. I don't know about you but I have way too many items sitting in my closets and basement that just need to go. As a father of a young daughter, I'm rapidly accumulating more stuff around the house.

Probably the item that I really need to go through the most is clothing. I have way too many t-shirts and hoodies that I really need to sort through and donate to Goodwill. It's time for those items to find a new home instead of just sitting in a dark closet for decades. Spring cleaning is calling for sure. What items do you have an abundance of in your home?
