Absolutely not - the Salvation Army in my town is a rip off.  We tried to get help from them and we really needed it and all we could get was a few rusty dented cans of veggies - no tuna nothing worth eating. So we thought well they don't have anything so what can they do?  Then my husband did the bell ringing and that Sunday we went to the Salvation Army church and found out that is who they save all the good stuff for so we found a charity in our town that I would trust more to help whoever needs it.

Not anymore, but we do have a couple of places here in our small town. Seems like one of them is more into profits. But then I found out it is to help the poorer people pay their utilities. The other  place is a church sponsored program and they just give it  away to those who need it and part of it is sent to other countries that need clothes and items also. So I tend to go there.

We don't have Salvation Army or Goodwill in my town, but we have St Vincents and a local organization called Adelante that runs a thrift store to help disabled people.  I donate to them.

Yes I donate to charities all the time, although mostly to The Arc and that's only because they actually come to the house and pick the items up. I donate clothes, some old, some new which don't fit my kids anymore, and like one of your readers says, I also find real bargains there in return. I have also donated toys, shoes, boots, books, DVD's, pots and pans. I would so much rather donate it to someone who might need it than to throw it in the garbage where nobody benefits!

Whenever there is something still usable that I no longer want.

I donate when I have something I can refurbish, however I love to shop there and the goodwill for things you can't find at just any store. Sometimes you can really find a mini goldmine~
