Where is the nearest womens shelter that I could donate clothing to? Or anyone know a family that could use size S-M (sizes 4-6) clothes?
Thanks!

i donated sheets and towels to Providence Animal Shelter today since I believe they got animals in from Harvey so you're still helping them. They always need bleach, etc too see website for their wishlist.
Unfortunately the articles above are correct. Many think going through their closets will help but in reality there just isn't enough manpower to sort, separate, and distribute. Purple Heart will donate to veterans and the homeless. Money is the best way to help right now.
Seeking recommendations for consignment shops in the area: (1) I need a good clothing consignment shop for kids and adult clothing that accepts regular name brand labels...

Little People’s Children’s Consignment shop on State Street has been there a very long time and has nice selection in good condition and very reasonable. (Across the street from Trader Joe)

Consign & Design on west Chester Pike in Broomall is great for furniture,etc!!
Christina R. replied:
You can contact https://www.facebook.com/115742881854611 Nana's Attic Thrift Store - Broomall, Pa. about the furniture. Calling is best since the store is small and they can't accept a whole lot. If items https://www.facebook.com/560027547519010 sell you know it goes to a good cause: Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County, Inc.. Good Luck.

Can anyone suggest places to drop off clothing donations in the area? I have lots of cold weather donations and would love to give it to a organization that will get it...

Anyone know clothing stores nearby that sell women's tall jeans?
Gabby C. replied:
Concord mall has NY & Co. Victoria Secrets has long and xxl I order from the catalog ... my favorite are Lucky Jeans and they have long. White House Black Market I believe has tall as well.
Cindy S. replied:
Try Clothes Mentor in Springfield, they sell high-end "gently" worn women's clothes and accessories. I have a 34" inseam and found 5 pairs of pants, 2 of which were dress pants (yes! dress pants that are long enough) that were never worn, still had the tags on them. Throw in a sweater, a dress and two blouses, grand total $98.00

Try LLBean. I think Sears carries LL Bean otherwise it will have to be online.

I've been to Kohls & Sears. Not very good selection of tall sizes. I've also been to Target, Walmart, and Costco. They all have tall sizes, but not much to choose from.
