Does anyone have any recommendations of how to donate clothes?

Purple Heart and they never came today after we drug out all the
boxes last night.  Called and they said if they cannot see it from
the street they don't stop.  As you all know in Charles Village
our built-up porches make it impossible to see something from the
street unless I put it on the steps where inevitably people would
rummage through it.  So need an organization that actually knows
what they are doing.

I had the exact same experience with Purple Heart. Word for word. I now 
feel vindicated. I also have clothes, odds and ends to give.

Paul: sorry to hear that Purple Heart didn't come through. I have never had
that problem before. You can drop clothes off at Goodwill on Greenmount or
Value Village further north on York.  Dawna

I would suggest dropping the items off at the Goodwill location on Greenmount 
Ave. I think they are in the 3100 block.

Re: [Chat] Clothes donation

[D. Williams]

The yellow boxes are Planet Aid their website is below, I don't think it is a bad thing!
http://www.planetaid.org/
This doesn't seem like a bad organization to me, proceeds of sales from used clothing to Africa and Asia.  I know that there was some discussiion about this being a "shady" enterprise.  I'm not so sure about it.  After looking at the 2005 Report, it appears that only 7% of the proceeds go to administration?  Am I wrong?  
PS.  This IS VERY DIFFERENT than Planet Earth clothing, which is an extreme sport enterprise!

Thanks.  I am not a fan of the Salvation Army due to its discriminatory hiring 
policies, so I'll
call Purple Heart.

Greg, I think the Salvation Army will pick up items left on your porch.

I don't have the number.

Does anyone know of an organization that will pick up clothes to donate?
With the cold weather
coming, we've put together 6-7 large boxes of clothes to donate and it would
be easier if the
organization could come here.  Open to suggestions.

Thanks!
