I know that a lot of people on the forum are concerned about what happens when they donate clothing to Goodwill-type stores. It sounds like some people come in and buy up the nicer clothing and then resell it for a profit, which means that lower-income people don't get to buy nice clothes at a price they can afford.

I recently found a way out of this problem! The food shelf by me has a clothes closet, where people who use the food shelf are allowed to pick so many items per month for free. I have been in the clothes closet of the local Salvation Army food shelf, and the quality of clothing they have is abysmal. If I have a lot of clothing that doesn't sell on consignment, I plan to pick it up and take it to one of the clothing closets run by the food shelves in the area. That way I know that the people who really need it will get it.
