Default Charity Thrift Shops

We are emptying closets. Have many almost new items which we would like to go to a charitable organization, maybe a Church Thrift Shop, or any charity where it could raise money for a needy cause(?). Please give me your ideas on where these clothing items should go. Thanks.

The Baptist thrift store on Citizens blvd is among the best. Low overhead as most of the staff is not paid and they will take most anything. Goodwill has a lot of clothes on display.
It is more of a business with PAID staff. As far as charitable, most of what they raise goes to pay their staff.

We give things to the thrift store beside Wildwood Tire along Route 44 in Wildwood.

I think the proceeds help to support military veterans.

The FBC Leesburg Thrift Store (First Baptist Church of Leesburg Thrift Store) does some amazing things with the items that are donated & sold: supports a free, fully equipped medical clinic, provides rooms for families that have no other place to live, helps women & men dealing with addiction (safe place to live, etc.)...and more.

First Baptist has a great store in Leesburg, simply called The Thrift Store. Huge store, lots of selections, including furniture, housewares, furnishings, equipment , books and clothing. All proceeds go to the Christian Care Center which gives away 13 tons of food weekly, a free medical and dental clinic, a homeless shelter, men and women's centers for addiction and a pregnancy and family care center.

I agree. A complete volunteer staff. They do not take clothing though.

CEO drives a Rolls Royce and takes more than $1,000,000.00 a year in salary. Salvation Army is a better bet.
