I work for a non-profit in San Francisco that helps adults with kids and families get off of drugs and rebuild their lives. About 35% of the people who come into our programs come straight from a jail, prison, or hospital and have no clothing excpet for what is on their backs. We want to start a clothes closet, so that when these people arrive, we have at least one new set of clothes for them. Unfortunately, we can’t take old clothes because we had a bed bug infestation that was traced to a bag of donated clothes.
So, other than calling up Target and such and asking for donations of new clothes or gift cards, do you have any ideas?
It’ll earn you some good karma points in addition to your Yahoo Answers points if you have a good, plausible suggestion!! = )
