I use free cycle all the time, I recently posted womens business suits, I previously worked for a lawyer and had 28 suits, to my surprise, I received an email from the Womens Shelter in my area, they came and took all of them, including the pumps to go with the suits to give to the ladies going out on interviews. I was so happy I can actually help someone while cleaning out my closet.
I also posted "in need of seeds and plantings for my garden" you wouldn't believe what I received - actually, I won't know till spring! my garden will be filled.
