[Chat] Clothes donation

[Goucher]

We use Vietnam Veterans of America reliably and are now on their periodic call list for donations.  They pick up from the porch, even with bags left out of sight from the street, as long as the bags are clearly marked V V A and are left on the porch by 8 am that morning of pickup.

  Does anyone have any recommendations of how to donate clothes? Tried the shelter on St Paul and they are not interested. Tried Purple Heart and they never came today after we drug out all the boxes last night.  Called and they said if they cannot see it from the street they don't stop.  As you all know in Charles Village our built-up porches make it impossible to see something from the street unless I put it on the steps where inevitably people would rummage through it.  So need an organization that actually knows what they are doing.
