If your clutter-busting has uncovered a few dusty pieces of baggage that have outlived their usefulness, don't drag them out onto the curb for the garbage man just yet. Your neighborhood women's shelter and homeless shelter will gladly accept any luggage in serviceable condition.

Give your local children's protection services division and foster-care agency a ring, as well-children placed in foster care are often forced to haul their possessions from home to home in garbage bags, because they don't have suitcases or duffel bags.

If you'd like to do more, consider launching a suitcase-collection drive in your neighborhood. Find out how at Suitcases for Kids, an international non-profit started more than a decade ago by then-10-year-old Aubyn Burnside of Hickory, North Carolina.
