Where To Donate Clothing?

[anothertorres]

my wife and i are getting ready to ship off and we have a boatload of clothes we no longer need or want. i'd hate to see this wind up in some greedy hands and sold for profit. any one know the best charitable place to drop off and won't wind up for sale in the back of the Soi Boukaew market?

Just a suggestion: What about the orphanage or the Father Ray Foundation ?

Sorry to hijack this although it is in a similar vein, what to do with clothes that are worn out? Simply leave them for the bin man or the bin scavengers?

To the OP, congratulations on you sparing a thought for others Many people would not even think to do so. Out in the sticks I have seen many children and older people walking round in old tattered clothes because that is all they have.

Add to that I have seen a few market stalls where they have acquired second hand clothes and tried to pass them off as new so a responsible place for donations is always welcome to make sure the donations get to the right people.

update... called up Father Ray's this morning and asked if they'd come and get the 7 bags. they showed up around 4:30 as promised. they were extremely thankful.
