We donate to charities in the hope that it benefits others. And, yes, it is often items no longer of use to the giver.

Please don't attempt to twist my words. My words were 'items not good enough for family or friends'.
No one appreciates being thought of as inferior and only deserving of something no one else wants. True charity involves more than just giving. It involves caring about about the ones, to whom you give. True charity is giving help, without taking away dignity. There's nothing wrong with giving items no longer of use to the giver, as long as they can still be used/worn with dignity by the receiver.
