Donating used goods

I've been cleaning out my apartment recently and wanted to get rid of a lot of old clothes that I don't plan on wearing anymore. Most of them were still in very good condition so wanted to donate them instead of throwing them away. I did some research and found a couple of non-profit organizations that have drop off sites in NYC and I highly recommend them if you're looking to donate clothes that you don't wear anymore.

Organizations


The Salvation Army

A non profit that's also a christian church. They provide food, shelter, and humanitarian aid.

Good Will Industries

A non profit that provides community-based programs like job training and employment placement for people who have disabilities.

Both organizations have store operations throughout the country that sell the non-cash donations that they receive. They're essentially non-profit thrift shops. If you're looking to donate your goods, make sure you go to a drop-off location. You can't drop off your stuff at a store.

For example, there's a Salvation Army location in Manhattan called the "Salvation Army Store and Drop off Center" where you can buy used goods as well as donate.
