Comment about donating clothing to women's shelter.......a few yrs ago I had two large bags filled with my " office attire"--- retired, didn't need that much. Thought the women's shelter, where young pregnant women were housed, and also were then groomed for the working works after delivery....so I called first, spoke to the director..and was told they do not accept clothing donations, not for mothers to be or the babies....will only accept $$$$$$. The feeling being letting the women shop for their wardrobe was better for their self esteem rather than accepting charity. I have mixed feelings about that theory....needless to say, I did not send $$$ and found another outlet for my clothes.
