Where should I be taking my lightly used, but no longer desired clothes? I try to clear out my closet once a year or so and eliminate anything that doesn't fit, doesn't reflect my current workplace dress, or isn't ever worn. I don't buy a lot of clothes, but there are still generally several shirts/pants/jackets (both outwear and dress) and shoes that I wish to pass on to someone.

I had thought My annual Goodwill drops were the best way to do that. What are the alternatives, especially that can contribute to my underserved neighbors?



Homeless shelters sometimes accept clothing, my homeless shelter actually runs a charity shop. Local charity shops are an option, but we don't know if they are run better.


Try seeing if local religious centers have donation centers. They typically will contact the people who need help directly in their neighborhoods.


I have a local homeless shelter that takes clothing. I know they are not connected with any industrial profit machine.
