WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (YN) - Sponsored by the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), Get Organized Month is celebrated across the country with professional organizers hosting events throughout the month of January.

"We chose Daily Bread for this year's project because they help feed so many people who would otherwise go hungry," said Suzy Wilkoff, president of NAPO-South Florida.

Get Organized Month promotes the benefits of getting and staying organized, including time and money savings, increased productivity, improved quality of life and reduced stress. Schools and community agencies have all benefited from professional organizers' help to get organized, streamline processes and reduce clutter during previous NAPO-South Florida Get Organized Month projects.

Participating organizers from Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Collier Counties include: Dale Manno, Beth Levin, Sheila Zayas, Tonya Paulette, Jennifer Alman, Gail Biers, Michelle Katzman, Kelly Barber, Suzy Wilkoff, Patty Ribera, Lori Abou, Cristina Maria Lloyd, Susanne Phelps, Gayle Jacobs, Connie Kippycash and Tracy Colleran.
