Want to Donate Children's Clothes

I would like to donate my son's clothing to a children's or women's shelter. Do any of you know how I can find a place? I also have formula that has never been opened and I hate to just throw this stuff away, knowing it could possibly help someone. Thanks in advance for your advice!

What can I do next?

I go to the Collin County Women's Shelter, Hope's Door.

The Family Gateway is one of my favorite charities; it is a homeless shelter for families with children; you can google the name to find their web site. There are a number of wonderful women's shelters around; try the Family Place or Genesis Women's Shelter. Don't wait too long with that formula or it will go out of date (personal experience).

Denton COunty Friends of the Family serves women who are trying to leave abusive situations. They're located on Crescent St. behind First Baptist Church in Denton, or you can donate to their thrift store on University.
