Goodwill or the Salvation Army or something? What's the most philanthropic? Decent clothes btw.

Goodwill is not even a charity.

Salvation Army is the way to go.

I usually just take them to Goodwill and drop them off. Sometimes I'll box them up and put them in one of the drop-off spots.

I know Goodwill probably isn't the best option, but it's the most convenient.

Give to St Vincent de Paul or The Purple Cow.

Both seem to give more back to the local community and less to some corporate office.

My tax write off says differently, but I agree.

Does Salvation Army have drop boxes too?


What's the deal with all the Goodwill boxes, there are a million of them? I wonder if there are shenanigans going on.

Where is the purple cow?


And ali know that Goodwill is not technically a charity, but I figure the only folks shopping there for clothes probably can't afford them otherwise. And maybe hipsters.

I'm no hipster, but I've found some rad shite in Goodwill. I usually go get a red dress there once a year for Nola's Red Dress Run and walk out with a bag full of shite.

There's a Purple Cow on Perkins at Acadian (near Burgersmith) and one on Jones Creek at Tiger Bend.

You know it. Maybe drink us some Rob Sale Sazeracs, a Rodney Reed 'Rita, then head on over to the Airport a lounge for a Luke Sanders Long-island. Probably finish it off with a Brandon Hurley handgranade and find us a Shoney's to crush a Banks' breakfast bar.

I hear ya, I've found some cool stuff I needed last minute at Goodwill. But I'd imagine most folks who get their entire wardrobe there are either a little less fortunate or doing it for the irony/I don't give a frick ness.


That said, I would rather give it to the folks that most need it. But is some homeless dude hanging under the I-10 overpass really wanna be rockin' a long-sleeve button up Banana Republic shirt in June? Most of my stuff is more "dressy" than practical.

If they're good clothes, in good shape, and in current style, you can sell them to Plato's Closet...just FYI.

Goodwill is never the answer.

Any catholic church has a drop box for the local St Vincent DePaul shelter in their parking lot. Throw the clothes in a garbage bag and drop them in the container.
