Property in Santa Cruz Real Estate Blog

This is the time of year where we get together with family and friends. Often we give thanks for what we have, and reflection on the world. We are a nation that is reeling at the moment and many have lost their jobs. This is the time where we are most charitable, and now is an opportunity to show that in an easy to do fashion.

A local dry cleaners, Classic Cleaners ( 423-2630) is collecting, cleaning and distributing winter coats for the poor. Check your closets for those winter coats that you may have outgrown or forgot you even had.

Sometimes you find in storage, clothes and coats your kids outgrew long ago. These would be perfect for the families that need them. You can of course donate new ones, but many of us have plenty of serviceable clothes and getting rid of one or two would be a good thing.

You can donate your Santa Cruz coat and drop them off at Classic Cleaners at the main location at 609 Soquel, across from Shoppers Corner. Their other locations in Live Oak and Capitola also accept these charitable donations.

As we face more economically hard times in Santa Cruz County, these good deeds will be greatly appreciated. Santa Cruz real estate values have made it hard for people to make ends meet. With the Watsonville real estate market having a high number of foreclosures, many are now renting or left to scramble. Staying warm will be something we take for granted, and having a warm coat make life more bearable during these times of stress.

If you have other clothes, consider donating them to other organizations like the Salvation Army or St Vincent De Paul. They will often come and pick these items up. Like unused clothing that can be put to a better use if you have a home you would like to donate to charity or set up a beneficial tax structure so that you get income and the charity of your choice gets the proceeds before or after you go the the next chapter of life contact me at my site www.propertyinsantacruz.com or call me, Gregg at 831-818-7524.
