Do you donate second-hand items or clothes to charity?

Question

markscott · Accepted Answer

Yes. A lot of people on low incomes buy second hand clothes, that are in good shape, because that it all their budget will allow. This is especially true for many people with multiple children, or people starting out in new jobs. Second hand items are a god send for them.

Massageman · Accepted Answer

Yes. I work at a food pantry each week and I can bring almost ANYTHING there and people will find a use for it. If I know of specific needs of individuals, I try to see if anything I will be donating fits their needs first.

xHoneyxBeex · Accepted Answer

Yes, I always do. Whenever I go through my closet and find things that don't fit me or that I just don't wear anymore, I donate them to the Salvation Army and a couple of local churches near me that accept clothing donations.

jesshkah · Accepted Answer

Of course, I have a ton of old clothes I never wear anymore (I honestly should go through and donate more), but I’ll never trash them if someone else could use them.

inmyopition · Answer

I give me Bfs old ones to homeless people, charities just sell them when really the true ones in need can't afford them and don't get them. If you personally don't know someone who needs them should a charity shop if it's crap or ebay if its worth more the 10$

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I usually hand out new & used items to the needy each & every time I participate in outreach missions in the Philippines. It makes me so happy to see the smiles of those who have received something from me and a big bunch of other volunteers.

StarsInTheEyes · Answer

Yes, but some of them are new, since I received T-shirts from non-profit organizations as well, but I don't wear all of them, since there are too many, and I need to send each organization letter to let them know not to send me more.

mandi308 · Answer

i offer kid clothes to my friends first and what they don’t take and my clothes get donated. some towns have those big locked bins for putting your donation in which is handy.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

No I don't. Because I buy high quality clothes that don't go bad and I might wear the same outfit again 10 or 20 years later. I donate money to charity though.

MermaidMotel · Answer

Yes, all the time, or I put them in steel drums and ship them off to Jamaica. I only do that once a year since it can get VERY expensive to ship. Normally, I throw it in bag to give to Goodwill.

SarahVanRensburg · Answer

Yes. I usually ask my girl friends if they want to look through my stuff first because they’re constantly borrowing my clothes but if they don’t then I give them away.

Edanurus · Answer

I do rather than throw them out. Although I also do the Christmas thing and I feel that's better. You buy a Christmas present for an orphan, I may not be helping solve the issue but I can give a child an amazing experience.

I buy quite a lot of clothes from charity shops, but to be honest I've managed to recycle most of my old clothes these days as either painting clothes or spare material that I cut up for other stuff

hillbillygirl · Answer

No, before I donate it Charity my relatives will ask my old clothes. Sigh. But I donate some of my clothes at school to people in need.

Pineapple_Boy · Answer

I don't. I prefer giving new items/clothes rather than used stuff. Growing up , I was taught to give better than I have.
