Here are some ideas to get involved:
- Declutter Your Home: Go through your belongings and find items that someone else could use. Donate these items to friends, family, or charity.
- Clean Out Your Storage Spaces: Whether it’s the garage, basement, attic, or shed, clear out items you no longer need. Someone else might find your “junk” incredibly useful.
- Volunteer Your Time: Participate in a community service project or volunteer for a local charity. Your time is one of the most precious gifts you can give.
As you participate in National Give Something Away Day, you’ll feel good about helping others and enjoy a less cluttered living space.

History and Origin of National Give Something Away Day
This special day was created on July 15, 2015, by Linda Eaton Hall-Fulcher, a self-proclaimed giver. The goal of the day is to brighten someone’s life by giving them something you no longer need but they could use.
It’s important to note that this is not a true “National” day as it has not been proclaimed by the U.S. Congress or the President of the United States.
Understanding “National” Days
While many days are labeled as “National,” not all are officially recognized by the government. It’s important to distinguish between officially proclaimed days and those celebrated by communities and individuals.
