Clear Your Clutter Day 2026: Lighten Your Load, Lift the Community
Save the date for the 11th Annual Clear Your Clutter Day on April 25, 2026, from 10 AM to 1 PM (rain or shine!) at Faith Presbyterian Church, located at 8170 Hague Road, Indianapolis.
Got stuff piling up? This is your moment. One stop, one morning, and your unwanted items find new purpose: donated to neighbors in need, recycled responsibly, or safely shredded. Good for your home. Good for the planet. Good for the community.
Items to reuse will be donated to Mustard Seed, Thrifty Threads, or Wheeler Mission. Books are donated to Indy Reads.
Find more information about Clear Your Clutter Day below.
How does it work?
Load up your items and bring them to Faith Presbyterian Church parking lot at 82nd and Hague. As you enter the parking lot, a greeter will ask what type of items you have and direct you to the appropriate trucks. As you leave, the cookie ladies will give you a cookie as a thank you for supporting this event.
