It's a truism of crisis donations -- that only half the clothing given is any use. Remember: it needs to be warm, clean and in fair repair. Fine to donate clean second-hand socks, bras, underpants and children's underwear, but women's knickers should be new (try Pep stores). Try to include items like sewing-kits, games, cards; also donate items families can use to store, protect or move their stuff (canvas supermarket bags, zip-lock bags, watertight containers, etc).
totally agree! We have been getting what people throw away because they cant use it anymore,...........that does not mean that we can! we can only use good second hand clothing, dont give us used underwear!!!!!!! or one shoe!!!!!!!!! trust me it happens
