By the time I am finished with my clothes, no one else would want them, so I really wasn't sure what to do with them. I called Goodwill and they do have a use for such things so off they go. Goodwill ususally gets whatever other stuff I have too unless the Animal Shelter is having a sale to raise funds.
I donate a few times a year. It all goes to AMVETS. They're
very good about calling to remind me a few days before the
pickup date also. :)
That's what we do too, but it's called Purple Heart. Amvets & Purple Heart might be the same thing though :confused: I've heard both names come out of my mom's mouth :pQuote:

Yep!
Salvation Army and Veterans are the ones I usually
donate stuff too.
I use to donate to the GoodWill, till one day I happen to go in there. Once I saw how much they where charging these people, I stoped. I just didn't feel it was right, to mark the price up that high, for people that can barely affored the basic in life.
So now I give to a place called New Hope, I like them a lot better. They seem to care more. The woman who runs the place is a real sweet heart.
Yes, we have a community center down in town I take stuff to. I take stuff there probably at least 2 to 3 times a year.
We donate lots to the ARC (American Retarded Citizens). They have a truck that comes to your house and picks up your boxes ... you just call them and leave your boxes on the front steps. We also donate to our local Goodwill too. I also have a friend whose neice has a single mom .... I pass a bunch of my girls' clothing on to her! ;)
