During the first week of May, Margaret Harlos of Innisfil's Living Organized partnered up with Karen Main of Neat Transitions of Barrie helped to give back to the community by volunteering their time and services at ReStore - Habitat for Humanity, located on 128 Brock Street in Barrie.

Harlos and Main were celebrating National Organizing Week (NOWeek), and these professional organizers were out in full force, providing assistance in reorganizing parts of the store.

The mission of Habitat for Humanity is to mobilize volunteers and community partners to build affordable housing and to promote home ownership as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty. ReStores accept and re-sell quality new and used building materials in order to fund Habitat for Humanity's building programs.

Living Organized's slogan is 'Let's make room for your life', and Harlos expertise lies in helping both home owners and small business owners de-stress their busy lives by de-junking, de-cluttering and organizing space so that it can be used to its fullest potential.

She also specializes in helping the elderly move, relocate and downsize, and she particularly enjoys helping seniors through what can be a stressful time in their lives, and in the lives of their loved ones.

She is a member of the North GTA Professional Organizers in Canada (Marketing and PR Director) and a member of the Greater Innisfil Chamber of Commerce.
