As long as they are transparent about what they are doing with the clothing, I think that's fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-74547277789726872902008-10-19T23:46:00.000-04:002008-10-19T23:46:00.000-04:00The furniture Bank is a wonderful organization.

Salvation Army stores and Goodwill are the best places in my opinion to donate your used furniture\clothing as they sell it and all the profits go into funding their social service and training programs.<BR/> <BR/>Do not ever give to the charity that calls you and says "we'll be in your neighbourhood" tomorrow so could you leave a bag at the curb." What that charity does is sell the donations to VALUE VILLAGE which is a for profit business that does not publicize this and it is unethical in my opinion but they have done a great job on convenience when it come to pick up's. This has drastically cut into the decrease in donations to the Salavation army and Good will.<BR/> <BR/>Support the Salvation Army especially this year due to the fire in the warehouse, they lost millions of dollars worth of product they can't use. No Christmas Gifts either!!<BR/><BR/>If anyone has any questions about this...happy to help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-42585195705160184722008-10-17T16:52:00.000-04:002008-10-17T16:52:00.000-04:00Hey Guin, thanks for stopping by.
