CLOTHING DONATIONS

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

Anytime is a perfect time to donate clothing in good condition. Now, especially, with so many families out of jobs and winter months ahead, adults and children may need sweaters, coats, boots, etc.

I'm going through the baskets of "to donate" in my closet & calling around to see how to direct this clothing.

Good luck finding a place. All local donation sites have been closed for about 2 weeks and don't plan to think about reopening until mid September.

One has 7 "PODS" outside that are full in addition to the entire basement of their building.

We also have some books to donate and the local libraries are not taking them because the volunteers cannot come in to sort them.

So although we have cleaned and purged most of it is still here.

Sad since I know some of the clothing especially is needed in our area.

Our church has two Caring Centers which accepts clothing and household donations.

We take a very large percentage of our clothing, sheets, blankets, etc.

The donation boxes are outside each building and are emptied daily. 100% run by volunteers.

Please check your local houses of worship.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Vietnam Vets of America resumed pick-ups in our area several months ago.

For many years I had difficulty donating items (not just clothes). I found that for places who talked about doing good for those in need, they really couldn't be bothered most times. The items I donated were not junk at all and in many cases brand new. I stopped donating to Goodwill. Too many complaints about them in my area. There was another one, kidney foundation, I'd call and set up date and time and they'd never show. Call them and told, we don't have you on our schedule. I finally found a great organization in my area that takes donations for their store. Proceeds go to rescuing animals. I even donated furniture to them. I'm glad I finally found them, I was beginning to think I'd just be tossing things in the garbage.

With all the small projects we have at this time, not only have I dropped off stuff at a nonprofit that helps former prisoners and their families adjust, but the larger items I have placed on the front lawn close to a busy street.

The FREE sign ensures that these items will get picked up within the day. It seems that plants that I have divided are especially welcome if they are in plastic bags or boxes. I usually put care instructions with the plants.

It feels great to know that things are getting a new life and are wanted !

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

In my area (metro-DC) there's a site called Green Drop. It services a few different charities. They have drop-off locations as well as pick-up service.
