I really wonder how it is possible that there’s a shortage of free, warm clothing.
Long ago, I worked briefly at (Vancouver-agency-that-will-remain-nameless). They collected clothing donations. There was a large room half full, FLOOR TO CEILING with bags and bags of clothing.
We were sorting out “saleables” vs. “to-be-recycled”. Clothes supposedly came pre-washed by the donors. If there were even a small rip or stain, it went to “recycled” because there was just so much and the thrift store would be overwhelmed. For every full garbage bag of tightly packed clothing to be shipped off-site to some recycling facility somewhere, we kept maybe ONE item of clothing.
