Don't forget "Some" money is needed for administration costs. Within reason. This is where charity navigator and similar websites come in handy, they tell you what percentage goes for admin and fundraising costs. I doubt you will find a charity without either, if you do, it will probably be very small.
We also have a thrift store here with a big "Mountain O' Donations' in the receiving area. Let's face it, there are just waaaaaay too many clothes floating around and the vast majority of those that are donated get baled and sold overseas, or recycled for fiber. The only thing we can do about it is to stop buying so many new clothes.
