Spring Cleaning with Purpose: GraceWorks Thrift Store 
With the spring season upon us, we are more inclined to start “spring cleaning” and purging items from our homes. The feeling of lightness that comes with cleaning out unused items or clothing from your home will not only leave you feeling more organized, but it will also bless others, as many benefit when you donate items to local organizations. One such organization that accepts donations is GraceWorks Ministries.  
 
GraceWorks Ministries was established in 1995 by a group of concerned Williamson County citizens and faith leaders who sought a comprehensive, collaborative solution to the complex issue of poverty. Their founders recognized that local low-income residents had diverse needs – food, clothing, housing support and financial assistance – yet most area nonprofits and churches focused on only one or two services. However, by pooling church resources with private and public sectors, GraceWorks has been able to offer wraparound services to a large number of individuals and families in need. They are currently comprised of twenty-one Board of Director members, over fifty staff members and an average of 270 volunteers serving onsite each week.  
 
GraceWorks’ communal approach to charitable work is expressed in their mission statement: Neighbor serving Neighbor, by the power of God’s grace. And, donating items – whether they be household items or clothing – is serving your neighbors. 
 
If you are spring cleaning, decluttering or remodeling, then consider donating to GraceWorks.   
 
They accept clothing of all sizes, household items, new toys, appliances in good working order, LCD flat-screen televisions and furniture. Items must be in good shape with no major fading, no pet hair, tears or stains and be smoke-free. All clothing must be clean and in bags or boxes. Your donation is tax deductible, as allowed by tax laws. Check their website to learn more about donating items and items that cannot be donated.
