The season of Lent coincides with Spring Cleaning time. As we prepare for Easter in our hearts, we focus on ways to be more prayerful and charitable. One great way to combine the urge to purge and to help others is to do a 40-Day Closet Challenge. Each day during Lent, remove one item of clothing from your closet and put it into a trash bag, box, old suitcase, etc. At the end of Lent, donate those clothes to a place that can use them.
This is a such a great family activity. Kids can help with toys; families can go through the garage or kitchen. Explaining that by sharing your family’s clothes and toys, you are helping those who are less fortunate.
Look at this 40 Day Challenge as a way to help those less fortunate, to teach your family about charity, and to provide an opportunity for spring cleaning!
