In the past years we have given used clothes to the Salvation army for there resale shops.
But this year when so many folks are in need are there churches that will take used clean clothing for adults and kids. We will deliver, have blankets, clothes and other items. We are older yes Detroiters and and live in the Palmer Woods, Sherwood Fores area. Perhaps some group might pick up or maybe we can coordinate a drop off..
It's the least we can do in this recession for our neighbors.
Check with the Capuchins for needy families. St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army and Purple Heart are all good organizations but sometimes a person wants a closer connection to where donations go.
The Georgia Street Community Collective [[www.georgiastreetcc.com) will be happy to take the items you wish to donate. Please send us an e-mail to georgiast313 at yahoo.com and someone will get back to you to arrange pick-up. Let us know your general location and approximatelly how much you have and we will be happy to distribute your items to persons in need.
You could also contact local churches. Many of them have "clothes closets" or food pantrys and will gladly accept donations.
Shelter's for the homeless or battered women are another option. I've donated to all these in addition to the Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, etc.
South Oakland Shelters office in Royal Oak accepts clothing donations...
