Reply #7: I no longer use Goodwill....

...except for shopping. I collect donations for a charity at our schools where we stock and display clothes and linens for needy schoolkids and their parents only. That way we know donations go directly to those we are trying to get support to. We also stock food shelves so we can send food home to some needy kids on weekends because that's the only nutrition some of them get! It's a helluva lot of work, but making one child smile or feel better because he has decent clothing makes it all worthwhile.

I'm retired, so I have time, and this is the best use of that time I have found.
