That is such a crock! In our throw away society, there are way more discarded clothes than people to wear them. Our local thrift store takes 95% of the clothing donations and tosses them into a baler machine that binds them into a gigantic bale, like cotton used to be sold in. Then they ship it to foreign countries, and not for free, either. They are paid for it. Very little of the donations ever is hung up for sale in the shop. If there are homeless people who need the clothes they should be giving them first pick.
