Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I'm in the process of putting spring/summer away and getting out the autumn/winter. I'm late, but the weather's been gorgeous here. I'm getting rid of the stuff that I've been holding on to thinking they moght fit again...some day. WHo am I kidding? It feels good to get rid of stuff! _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

It's great to get rid of stuff. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I have been giving my unused clothing to the womans shelter here in town. I also go around and collect kids clothing and womens clothing from other people. It is a shame to allow clothes to just hang in a closet when so many people have nothing. Don't forget hardly worn shoes too. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Chatty, I agree. The nursing homes need clothing. Like you said, the shelters and Salvation Army and AMVETS. I've got to go through the closets again, and take out what isn't getting worn. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	If you could have seen the faces of the administrator of the Hospices here when I walked in with dozens of hardly used books. You'd have thought I came with hundred dollar bills in hand. The same way with clothing for Safe Nest our local womans shelter... A week or so ago I dropped off a half dozen baby afgans at one hospital for babies who have no parents for one reason or another. I want to do the same for the other hospitals too but it will take lots of time, so I have the crafters in the resort also making blankets. What fun!!! _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

What a great idea! _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

I've got to go through the closets again, and take out what isn't getting worn. Thanks for mentioning AMVETS, a very fine veterans service organization: http://www.amvets.org/about_us/who_we_are.html I donate to them and Goodwill, and I support Goodwill by buying clothes from them as well. Places like Macys give their out-of-season still-tagged clothes to Goodwill, and if one has the time to go through the racks, there are such bargains to be had. It's silly, but a few of the clothes I keep are sooooo worn and old, yet I keep them for sentimental reasons. lol Yet I can give away unworn outfits with tags still on them. Go figure! _________________________ Josie

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Josie, I've been cleaning out. I found a few pieces of my kid's clothing from when they were little; a baseball hat, a precious teeny jacket my daughter used to wear, a Halloween costume, a little sailor suit, couple favorite blankets. I still didn't get rid of them. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
