If you’re moving, you likely have plenty of stuff you want to get rid of, especially clothes. Luckily, there are plenty of organizations that will take your clothing donations for free.
Consider Donating Your Clothes to These Organizations
Parting with your clothes or other possessions during a move is bittersweet. However, it doesn’t have to go to a trash bin. Anything that is any good condition will do well as a donation. Choose from a couple of organizations that benefit their communities. Donate to your local thrift store, or to a cause you care about. Either way, it’s a great opportunity to de-clutter and improve the lives of those less fortunate.
Goodwill
Goodwill accepts used items such as furniture, toys, books, board games, clothing and more. This organization helps people in the community through job training programs, employment placement services, and other valuable services. Goodwill helps keep usable goods out of landfills by selling it at the stores. Therefore, by getting involved, you’ll be supporting your community and the environment. You can donate clothes by dropping off your donations at a Goodwill store near you or sending them for free with a prepaid shipping label through GiveBackBox.com.
Salvation Army
The Christian faith-based organization provides charity to communities through addiction rehabilitation programs, emergency response, social work, international development, and health. Figure out where to donate clothes to someone in need by visiting a Salvation Army drop-off site near you.
The Arc
The Arc’s mission is to protect those with developmental and intellectual disabilities and actively supports community participation and inclusion. This organization accepts physical items such as furniture, clothing, and others. You can contact your local chapter to pick up your items, but check if they can accept them first.
What about shoes? Round up unwanted shoes, and give these to Soles4Souls. However, most places like Goodwill and the Salvation Army also accept shoes.
Other Organizations
When you’re trying to figure out where to donate clothes, consider these other organizations. For one, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul inspires people to be more spiritual while providing needed goods and services to communities. In addition to this, you can donate your old prom dress to Project G.L.A.M. The organization will give it to a young woman who can’t afford her own.
