Clothing

Clean, wearable clothes for every age and season.

Clothing is the most donated category and the one most often misused as a way to empty a wardrobe. The test is simple and worth applying honestly: would you be comfortable wearing this in public tomorrow? If not, it belongs in textile recycling, not on CauseKind.

“If you would not wear it out tomorrow, it is not a donation. It is a delegation of the disposal.”
