What Clothes Can You Donate to Charity?

by Mark Simmons Donate Clothes

You have just finished your annual home cleanup and figured out that there are clothes you do not wear anymore. There is no chance you could wear those items anymore, but you wouldn’t want to simply throw them away. The solution lies in donating clothes to a charity organization.

There are several benefits that you can expect when you donate clothes. You will be given a confirmation receipt that you can use when the time for tax deduction comes. Apart from that, you will feel good since you are doing a good deed. That is the most important thing – your donation will help someone who needs assistance.


What Kind of Clothes Can I Donate?

The most essential thing to know is that it is expected of you to donate clean clothes in an acceptable state. If you previously wore it, it would be kind of you to wash it first. Dirty clothes’ donation is not acceptable – after all, the idea is not just to get rid of it, but to help someone.

When it comes to the types of clothing you can donate, here is what you can consider adding to the donation box:

·         Shirts – feel free to donate any old shirts that you used to wear to work, but they can’t fit you anymore or you bought new clothes for the upcoming period.

·         Dresses – whether they are dresses intended to be worn everyday or evening combinations for social events, they can be a welcome addition to your donation.

·         Pants – consider your jeans from the last year or pants that were a part of your work outfit.

·         Shoes – you do not have to stick just to clothes, any types of shoes in acceptable condition come to mind, too. This also includes boots, but make sure that the wear marks are not that visible.

·         Ties and belts – men that bought a tie but never wore it or those that do not need a belt anymore can donate them to charity.

·         Wallets and handbags – women love to purchase new handbags all the time. If there is any bag that you do not use anymore, consider donating it.

Men’s, women’s, and kids’ clothing can all be donated. Please make sure to add them to a donation bag or box and call the charity of your choice to pick it up. In most cases, you can even arrange the pickup online. Make sure to leave the box in front of your house at the arranged time and the truck driver will pick it up.
