Donate Clothes to Charity:

You know about the Salvation Army, Veterans, and Deseret Industries.



Another you should know about is: Dress for Success (212-532-1922 ), whose numerous affiliates accept clothing donations throughout the U.S. It's a great cause: Their goal is to help needy women in its programs schedule job interviews. Once they do, DFS "personal shoppers" will outfit them in your donated suits (or other business-appropriate duds): and when the women land jobs, they come back for a week's worth of clothing suitable for their new offices. This organization has aided 450,000 women since it started, in 1997.
