In 2025, I left the corporate world after 20+ years and started volunteering at the Sudbury Community Food Pantry and Gifts of Hope Unlimited. I've always loved organizing, and my volunteer work sparked an idea that maybe I could turn that passion into something more.

I started The Good Sort because I’ve been there. The stuff keeps piling up. It’s overwhelming enough to sort through it, but I also want to know where it’s going. To someone who needs it? To a landfill? It matters. And I realized I could make that part easier for others.

I kept noticing the same thing: the stuff families let go of during a cleanout is often still perfectly good. Clothes kids grew out of overnight. Toys that got one good year. And somewhere nearby, a shelter needed kids' clothes, a teacher was asking for board games, a nonprofit was looking for items to support someone moving into their first home.

Someone in our community had what was needed, they just didn't know where to bring it.

The Good Sort is a home organizing service where letting go of things isn't just a chore, it's an opportunity. You get the calm that comes from a lighter home, and local organizations get the benefit of putting your items to good use.
