Week 6- Where and How To Donate?

So far throughout my 20 percent project on donating clothes to the less fortunate, I've mainly been gathering clothes and that's pretty much it. The only question I've been asking myself is"How and where am I going to get clothes to donate?" The question I haven't been asking myself is "Where or how am I going to donate?!" I just have one part of the donation process down but there are much more aspects to it. What am I going to do after I get a sufficient amount of clothes to donate? Where am I going to take the clothes to donate? Is there more than one place to donate? Is there anything else I should know after or before donating clothes? I started to ask myself all these questions. I started to worry but I think I know all about the donation process now. If any of my readers are wondering how to donate I'm always glad to help. First In the donating process, you'll need some clothes to donate. Donating clothes is an efficient way to get rid of overgrown clothes, or just to much clothes and don't have enough room for It. Then, you'll need to find somewhere to donate them to. Some places can Include Goodwill, Salvation Army, homeless shelters, vintage boutiques, thrift shops, church or other religious organizations such as synagogues and mosques, or you can even ask around your neighborhood for people who can use some clothes. When donating clothes, you should always make sure to wash the clothing first so that the person receiving the clothes gets them In good condition. Some organizations like Goodwill take more than just clothes. They take furniture, appliances and electronics. When donating clothes to Goodwill or any place, ask for that kinds of donating programs they have. Some places sell the donated clothes to people, but if it is not sold, then they take it to homeless shelters or homes for the needy. If my readers are thinking of donating clothes or anything that could be of some use to others and , donate. Do research, go to Goodwill, the Salvation Army or anywhere to ask for info about donating.
