I am looking for a place like a (battered women's shelter or something that is geared to helping women in need) to deliver in very good and excellent condition clothing. I have some things that are from higher end stores but the styles on some aren't so current. At any rate rather than just giving them away on like free cycle, I thought I could put them to better use.
I also have a giant gift bag full of books, hard and paper, fiction, non-fiction, novels and such that I'd love to donate to some place.
If you know of a place that is fairly close to me that would be great. I live in Vista Lakes area not 5 minutes from the Airport.
Thanks much

What can I do next?

Harbor House is a local charity that helps and shelters victims of domestic violence and they need everything you can think of since many of these women and children leave with just the clothes on their backs:

Also the Mustard Seed is always in need of nice clothing and basic home furnishings. They help homeless families get back on their feet. So they are always in need of professional looking clothing to help them dress for interviews, work, etc.

Both are local and very worthy of your donations.

Hi T.,

I have a friend who has started a non-profit that sends clothes and shoes to children/adults in need to Columbia. The shipping is sponsored by donations. If you would like more information, let me know. I can get you her number.

The Orlando Rescue Mission - downtown Orlando is a wonderful place. They have a great program to get homeless women and families back on their feet and the clothes would go to great use.

I work at MD Anderson and you could always drop the books off there - 1400 S. Orange Ave. Alot of patients and family members enjoy reading while getting chemotherapy.

The Semoran library may take donations as well and that is really close by.
