One of the much needed, but rarely donated items of clothing are socks & underwear. I always put my unwanted clothes in one of those clothing bins, and sometimes buy a pack of pants & cheap socks from Primani to throw in too.Debt Free as of 17/01/2009 Turtle Power!!

Having said that, each local organisation will work in different ways. Not all will have the storage or facilities to give out clothing. Those that do may have restrictions on what they can accept, eg our local Christmas shelter wasn't looking for suits and shirts but welcomed less formal menswear.x_raphael_xx wrote: »One of the much needed, but rarely donated items of clothing are socks & underwear.

Also worth pointing out that some of the public collection bins may not very directly benefit local charities. Some are more commercial enterprises, which give (or at least claim to give) a % to charity. So if you have strong feelings about what happens to your cast-offs, read the small print and pick your bin carefully!Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
This is truly a great initiative, in fact nothing can be better than donating something to some needy people. In our area Outreach Center collects old cars to support underprivileged with basic needs.0

Maybe ask a local Big Issue distribution office?0
