Some Tips On Getting Charity Clothing

By Della Monroe


You've been wanting to donate some stuff you are no longer using. This goes especially to clothes due to the fact that you trend to buy new ones every so often. This leaves a lot of stuff unused in your closet. Since you were hoping to free some of the space inside, this might be a good time for you to actually get rid of some and have them donated instead.

There are people these days who may not have the means to afford any more clothes than thew ones they have on their very backs. You want to see if there are ways you can extend some help to them. A good way for you to extend some assistance would be through charity clothing. Instead of just discarding clothes off. You can get them donated instead.

You do need to understand that when it comes to getting these items donated, you have to make sure first that they are well prepared for and ready to be distributed. If this is the first time that you will be donating them, you will find that there are certain steps that you need to do first to get them set and ready. You would want them to be truly useful when they are distributed to the people that need them.

Make sure that you get your closet decluttered first. You need to find out which of the pieces you own are still going to be useful for you. You need to know which ones are not anymore. You have to create a pile of those that are to be left behind and those that are supposed to be discarded. This is important so you get to keep track of how things actually are.

Get the clothes prepared too. What you need to do this time is make sure that you will check the pockets to see if there may be coins and bills that are on them. Many staff in charities tend to find jewelry, money and other items that can be easily forgotten. It may be hard for these people to return these items to their owners due to the amount of donation they get every time.

If possible, get the clothes washed. You do not necessarily have to do the job though because there are institutions and organizations that will actually accept these pieces even when they unwashed and dirty. Still, if you want to be charitable, might as well get the pieces washed so you know that they will be clean and they would even be ready to use once they're distributed to recipients.

Make sure to throw in some sheets, bath towel. And even blankets too. You want to include even those ones that are looking quite thread bare or those that are no longer brand new. They are actually very helpful especially when use on animal shelters. They can help keep the furry creatures warm and can help in cleaning the place as well. So, throw in some of those pieces as well.

Make sure to inquire about he places where you can drop these stuff off too. Find out what are the various areas that can accept these donations you'll be sending out. Call the organizations you want to send out these items to. They should be bale to provide you with instructions on how to go about dropping these items off.
