Clothing Donation Dos and Don’ts

A box of clothes marked as "DONATION"👕 Thinking of donating clothes? Here’s a quick guide to make your donation count:
✅ YES, please: Clean, gently used clothing in good condition. All seasons, all sizes — especially kids’ and workwear.
❌ Skip it: Items with stains, tears, missing buttons, or strong odors. Wet or moldy items.
When in doubt, if you wouldn’t give it to a friend, it probably shouldn’t be donated. Donation centers spend real time and money sorting unusable items — so a little thought from you goes a long way.
