I donate my clothing and unwanted items to a local shop that gives all proceeds to battered women and children. This has motivated me to now have the habit that if I am going to shop there, I take whatever items I have put aside for them and donate then. Kind of an I don't buy anything there if I don't donate something. I find this method really works for me. So today I went to look at fabrics and yarns, which they often have. I guess people buy them with good intentions, but then don't use them and ending up donating them. I of course have to look at all the stuff that interests me, too....I found a brand new pair of brown leather Birkenstock shoes, in MY size....if you have ever priced these, they are costly. Brand new, $1.00! Then I found another pair of Minnetonka leather shoes in my size, and they, too, were still in the box, brand new, and of course I grabbed them up, too. I've only seen brand new shoes there one other time, and they were work boots. I feel like a lottery winner. Yay, me!!

I was so happy with it. I am not a shoe collector by any means, but when I do buy them I tend to go for quality. Having a good fitting pair of shoes is very important.

Glad I found this one! I love doing the same but back in Australia, we have donation points where we leave whatever clothes we wish to donate. Most of these points are right at the car parking so we just stop our cars there and leave the packets in the boxes. Yep, if someone wishes to donate children's clothes, especially the school dresses, the schools accept them. you have a unique idea of course.

Yes, I am thankful to this certain little place that is so giving with what they do. They will unload for you if you are not able or have heavy items. They help the community and many people who have basically nothing. It does my heart good to know there are people who do this.

I like to go to shops like this. One thing I look for is books.
