Great post. A while back I wanted to get rid of some old bed linens and towels, all in pretty good condition. I mentioned it to a friend who told me about a Veterinary Clinic on Wedgwood Lane that takes in items such as that for rescue organizations.
Also a neighbor of mine had waterproof bed pads etc., left when her husband passed and she took them to this Clinic.
