Friday Night Links

I’ve been hard core cleaning out my closet lately and while a lot of the pieces are being sold, there are a handful that I’ve chosen to donate instead. Clothing donation is something I’ve always been in favor of. If you have clothes in good condition that you aren’t going to wear any more, why not let someone else have it? When I was in Pittsburgh, I would normally donate to the Vietnam Veterans of America to pick up my donation and now that I’m in DC, I’m on the hunt for a new place. I’ve donated to Goodwill, but with this clothing haul, I’m trying out the Purple Heart Pick Up.

Have you donated your clothing before? Where do you donate it?
