Especially these days. So wherever you donate, I think they'll go to good use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-thought-about-donating-clothes#post-535206 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:40:29 +0000 Saretta 535206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet completely! Donate your clothes and know that they will find the right home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-thought-about-donating-clothes#post-535201 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:36:44 +0000 Janet 535201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People of all sizes need clothes. Don't worry about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-thought-about-donating-clothes#post-535032 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:38:10 +0000 Adelfa 535032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You never know. My cleaning lady's assistant is tiny and she loves it when I donate my old size 2 clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-thought-about-donating-clothes#post-535028 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:29:58 +0000 Beth Ann 535028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so now I feel very noble donating my size 12 clothes (hee). I'd suggest donating to the charity or ministry you most want to support and trust that the clothes will find their way to the right person. Or, you could consign and choose to donate the money you receive or use it to make your own life more pleasurable.</p> <p>I do notice that a lot of the cutest clothes in the thrift stores are really small! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weird-thought-about-donating-clothes#post-534942 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:52:42 +0000 lyn* 534942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... so I donate my size 2 and 4 clothes, but most people in need aren't size 2 and 4. </p> <p>a) So are people in need who are in size 2 and 4 better clothed then people in larger sizes?<br /> b) So are people in need who are not size 2 or 4 benefit from the sales of my clothes?</p> <p>I am just looking at a big bag of donations and not knowing what I should do with them; donate them to a place that will get money from my donation (Salvation Army) vs. a place that will get my clothes (Homeless Shelter/Hospital). </p>
