If you are like me, every now and then you've got some things that are still in good shape but you have no use for them anymore. Because the stuff is still good you'd love to give it to someone who could appreciate it but too often those folks are hard to find.
I've given the Crozer library X-Box consoles, video games, TVs, a projection screen, paint, and computers. I've put furniture and tools in front of the house with a FREE sign and their gone within an hour.
However, I've gained a few inches in the waist over the last few years and I have a bunch of dress slacks that are almost like new which I've replaced to fit the more plumper me. My dilemma is that the few guys I know who could wear them are too proud to take a hand-me-down. City Team is overrun with clothes donations and only accept clothes at certain times. I hate dropping clothes in a box in some parking lot especially after I learned that most of those clothes are sold to people in foreign countries.
Today, I read a press release that I'm proud to share. It features a website that connects donors to agencies that accept all types of stuff. I gave it a try and discovered a Wilmington non-profit that will come to my home and take these pants to people in need.
Here's a clip from the release...
Most of us live in a word of excess: unneeded clothes, books, shoes, glasses, electronics, toys, musical instruments and more. At the same time, there are people all around us whose lives could be improved by the simple gift of something we can spare. The Giving Effect connects these groups with the efficiency of the Internet, allowing anyone to change lives by donating something they no longer need.
Good this blog will help the people to now how to donate there food cloths toys. Nice blog keep on updating these kind of blogs.
