do you donate your old clothes to less fortunate people? I have lots of old clothes that I havent already worn for years, there are lots of beggars and less fortunate people here. so instead of giving them money, I decided to donate my old clothes.
have you any old clothes there in your house? If you havent worn it, played with it, cooked with it, or looked at it for more than a year, why not donate it to someone who might actually need it?
or have you tried a garage sale?

I usually just take them to a thrift store unless I personally know some one who can use them. I generally donate thru a charity not just on the street.

Our family is quite big and i have 4 sisters abroad with their children and we get lot of clothese which are to be given to those to whom they are useful. We give away the clothese once a year free of cost to an agency which distributes it to less fortunate people.

Yes I do donate clothes.Our area is an earthquake hit one and there are thousands of people every year who lose their belongings.I donate clothes in particular to those who are needy.It gives a great satisfaction to me.

Hi Rouwel23, twice each year I go through all my clothes and set aside what I haven't used and give it a good cleaning, and bring it to organizations collecting good and decent clothes for poor people, and for the 3rd world countries in Africa. The same I do with shoes, and everything else that could be used there.

I have so many clother at home, what I don't liek any more, or it s too big or something is wrong with it.Anyway I was trying to donate clothes for charity long time ago in my country and the people in organization tell me, they don't need any cloths right now.It makes me pretty mad.So then I just left it by the big dumpster for homeless people.then I find other opportunity to bring it to the second-hand store and sell it , but I just don't feel like do it.For me it has better sense to give it to poor people.
