Donating old dress clothes to an organization can be so helpful to those in need in your community -- being appropriately dressed says a lot about character and experience during an interview, for example. Donated dress clothes provide unemployed or low-income workers with clothes they need to experience success in both interviews and current positions. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Gather your clothing and organize it by outfit. Full suits make perfect donations because they can be picked up right off the rack -- without the buyer having to mix and match from various pieces of clothing.
2. Have your dress clothes dry-cleaned to ensure they look as good as possible.
3. Check the clothing for rips, tears or other issues. It's best to donate clothing that is free of glaring aesthetic problems.
4. Find the nearest Salvation Army or Goodwill donation center to you. Both organizations have several locations in the Columbus area so there should be one relatively close to you.
5. Visit the location of your choice and work with the on-site representative to complete your donation. This traditionally involves dropping off the clothes and picking up a receipt of donation -- each organization will likely have its own method for handling drop-offs.
