De-cluttering has led to...
me being considerably more charitable than normal.
You have to get creative thinking who might like/use your stuff.
I gave some art paper leftover from our homeschool days to the local Sunday School. They were very happy. Also took crafting supplies to some stitching groups I go to for older ladies. Seniors on fixed incomes are very happy to have some materials to work with.
Hopefully this will give others some ideas on how to give in the community without it seeming too much like 'charity'. I receive a lot back from the church and from the seniors group. I am more than happy to supply some of their needs.

Good for you! I've been amazed over the years at the "stuff" I have donated to various places has been accepted as if it were spun gold! I don't know anything else that gives me quite that same warm, happy feeling.
