  Can anyone in CLE recommend non-religious orgs where I can donate clothes? Preferably ones that will *give* them to people rather than sell?

  I believe Vietnam Veterans of America ( http://vva.org ) is solid. I also think Savers donates to them.

  Molly's L. asked:

  QUESTIONS of the WEEK: Jodie asks, "Over the last year I've become a little OCD with my home being clean. My 11 yr old son recently came home from school with an article saying some people develop OCD with lupus. Have you ever heard of this?" And Jill asks, "I was curious if you knew of any studies connecting agent orange exposure in Vietnam (of a parent) to a child who develops it later in life?" Please help Jodie and Jill with your suggestions and comments! www.MollysFund.org

  

  Amelia E. replied:

  At this time there is no claim form for families. The Vietnam Veterans are pushing a bill to get VA to study family effects of agent orange.Go to VVA.org for info on bill. Immune problems are on the list of symptoms. Your Congressperson has to acknowledge the connection and the program ,before VA can give money.

  Robin S. asked:

  Question .... Does anyone live in or around Schererville, IN???Reason for asking is my friend's uncle's daughter can't get around well anymore and would like to have a flag placed on his grave. Here is his email to me: Robin I need some help. My Uncle Joseph M. Novak served in the navy during WW2 in 1945 then got recalled back to Korean conflict. He is buried in Chapel Lawn Schererville Indiana and have not placed a flag on his grave for over 9 yrs. I'm trying to help my cousin, his daughter. She has been doing it and she is getting older and I am trying to help. Don't know where to turn to or who contact. Do you know how I can get an answer for my uncle to have someone come and place a flag on his grave for Memorial Day. I live in North Carolina and she lives in Indiana. I'm hoping you can lead me in the direction or help get me a phone number to help my cousin and my Uncle who was a veteran. Thank you. I do appreciate it if you can lead me some where to help her out. Thank you so much. Jeff. Can anyone help him? In advance I would like to thank you for any help you can provide my friend Jeff and his cousin honoring Joseph M Novak...

  

  Jesse I. replied:

  Contact the cemetery. They usually have a local veterans organization, or Boy Scouts, place flags on the graves they know to be veterans. VVA #285 is in that area. Try contacting them through vva.org

  Stephy M. asked:

  Hey everyone! After doing some spring cleaning i have found a MASSIVE amount of clothes that I no longer want/use...are there any places locally that anyone can recommend donating them? Thank in advance :)

  

  Ric S. replied:

  you can always contact the Vietnam Veterans of America, I believe its VVA.org. They will sent a truck to your house to pick up the stuff and leave you a tax receipt. All you have to do is bag the clothes and leave them outside your front door, you don't even have to be home.

  

  Debbie E. replied:

  Call Vietnam Vets of AMerica for a pick up. I donate to them all the time. www.vva.org

  Helene G. asked:

  Does anyone have suggestions for getting rid of an old TV? It's a big one (not flat screen). Removal services? One that would carry it out would be best but I'm open to anything. Thanks!

  I always called Veterens retired and they pick bags up on Mondays and give you a receipt. Best of all they pick bags up outside your door. Call (631) 582-0242. A tax deductible receipt given.

  the VVA will pick them up at your house. If you go to vva.org and follow the donation links, you can set up a pick up. You can tell them where you will leave the stuff and they will leave you a tax receipt. You don't even have to be home
