What do you do with your old clothes?
« on: May 08, 2012, 10:23:58 pm »
DO you give to other family or neighbors for hamidowns or do you donate to goodwill for tax deduction garage sales ?? I used to give to ounger siblings and stuff but now they are older and have more of a style going to give a ton of clothes away this summer to clean my room and to donate for a cause better then just sitting in my room and a tax deduction wouldnt be bad either What do you guys do ?

i either sell them on ebay if they're still in good enough shape,
or donate to goodwill/salvation army. i also shop at thrift stores
a lot too, so its nice to give both ways.

we give them to the desert industries service. Sometimes we use them for rags. Other times we give them to the goodwill. Or some other organization like that! They all do good work and help other people with everything they can! So it's a good idea to give them to an organization like the goodwill or desert industries who use all the close that they get either here in the United States or in other countries that are in need of them!

I give my clothes to a local salvation army if they are still in good shape with no holes or stains. They realy help a lot of people and families.

At one time in my life when I was younger the clothes that I didn't ware anymore or would get holes in them I would make barbie clothes out of them. Currently I do a garage sell to make extra cash or just give them away to friends, family or strangers.

Sometimes goodwill, sometimes I sew them into diapers for my sister's baby and sometimes we just use them for rags.

I mainly wear my clothes out. But if any are descent I donate them to my local thrift shop or give them to Goodwill.
Whenever I can help some else out it's a good thing. :wave: :peace:

I usually hand them down to my cousins or friends as a first resort.  They love getting free clothes (I only let go of my clothes when they no longer fit.)  But, if I don't hand them down I always give them to good will.

I throw them away, or give the to Goodwill. When I do Goodwill, I always forget to file the donation with my taxes.

I have tried the tax deduction and its really not that much.  Doesn't even affect my return much.
I donate sometimes.  I just collect them sometimes hoping I will find some lil girl in need.  I would so
much rather give them to someone who can use them.  This is my daughters clothes I'm talking about
of course not mine.  I don't usually have much of my own to give away.
