Safety should always be your top priority as a consumer. The same point applies when it comes to donating clothing and hosewares. You must do careful research to be sure that any organizations you are considering using are legitimate and reputable. Unfortunately there are some less than responsible companies around so it is all the more important to be a vigilante researcher.

To help on that front there are a host of guide books for consumers that focus on charity organizations. These consumer guides are intended to help you to make educated and well informed decisions. You can find these publications available in book stores and in libraries. In addition some may be sourced online.

There is a wide variety of groups and organizations that are currently accepting donations of clothing. For example you can find many charity or thrift stores across the state that offer discounted prices on used clothing. Some of these stores give customers the opportunity to bring donations to the outlet. Others focus on collection points as a means of getting donated clothing. Take some time to call in advance or visit the website to get details on the best way to donate.

Another possibility is a clothing drive. These are popular events which occur each year and particularly near the holidays. Often volunteers devote time to collecting coats and other items to give to those who need them. You can find clothing drives taking place in a variety of institutions from schools to universities and work places.

It is also possible to volunteer to take part in clothing drives. This might entail collecting items from family and friends. Some of these projects serve local families in need while others may be geared towards helping people across the country.

Another possible way to donate clothing includes a project that aims to offer formal wear for free or at a reduced price to those who need it.

Alternatively there are some projects that collect office wear such as suits and blazers for local people starting employment. This provides people with a helpful boost to their confidence when undertaking a new job. Clearly there are many different ways to donate unwanted clothing to charitable organizations. Finally for items that are too worn or damaged to give to a clothing charity you might want to consider recycling. There are some recycling projects that take donations of particular fabrics and types of clothing.
