I have a lot of brand new clothes and some slightly used clothing I am willing to donate. I also have brand new shoes that have *never* been worn. I'll donate these as well. This may sound awful, but I do have one concern about sending this stuff to the established collection centers... I've donated stuff like this before only to have the people who should have been distributing the stuff, keep it because the things I donated were very nice. (And I do mean nice.) This has happened when I've donated good things to charities and crisis centers too. If you guys down in Texas (Cyndy, Molly, Mo, et al) can figure out a way to make sure the stuff I send gets distributed to the people who need it, I'll send the stuff next week. Just give me an address.

There is a collection point in Beaumont and Pt Arthur already in place. If people bring items our local club could see that everything is dropped off for others to benefit.
