Thursday marks the first day of spring and it's time to gear up for the traditional ritual of spring cleaning. While it isn’t time to break out the shorts and flip flops just yet in Boston, it’s a good time to clean out your closet and put the clothes you have outgrown to good use.

The proceeds from the sales of these items at consignment shops are used to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay and other Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in the region.
To arrange a pick up, visit the Schedule a Pick-Up Web page. You can also call 800-483-5503 or send an e-mail with your name, address, phone number and best time to pick up these items to donate@bbbsfoundation.org.
