Clothing

Post by Danielle Masters »

I usually drop clothes off at the salvation army, give them to friends or donate them on freecycle but I have some nice men's dress shirts and a few mens coats that I would love to go to a shelter or something but I don't know where to drop off. Can anyone lead me in the direction of somewhere these items could be used, especially by men trying to get back on their feet? Thanks in advance.

I have a booklet from the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District called "Pass It On" that has listings for many local organizations and what donations they can use. Here's the link to view it online http://www.cuyahogaswd.org/pdf/PassItOn.pdf
or call them at 443-3749 to get a paper copy. It's very useful.

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Can we post this somewhere on this sight?

Also I used to give stuff to St. Hermans on Franklin, next store to the castle. Sweet place run by religious brothers, they feed homeless men in exchange for their chores and are truly humble and grateful for every donation. They have always asked me to join them for lunch when I've donated.
