The Salvation Army will make a pick up to your home. You just schedule a pick up and tell them how many boxes of things you have. Very easy. I am having garage sales then donating the rest to Salvation Army. They give things away unlike Goodwill.

I normally bring to Goodwill. If you have any Veterans groups in your area, they often will pick up. Best to call or go to website to see what they will and will NOT accept.
Stained, worn or unclean clothing is a no. As with old furniture. Some will not take furniture at all. I donated a lot of Ricks clothes that were in good shape a few weeks ago, as I had a lot of heavy, winter clothing. Perfect for this time of year.
If you have any homeless shelters, look there. If you have a battered woman's shelter, they will take women's clothes, and especially children's clothes and toys, as the ladies often leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

I like the Salvation Army because when our state was ripped apart by tornadoes a few years ago, the Salvation Army were the first to arrive with their free food trucks, serving hot meals to anyone. FEMA people were seen in the lines taking food meant for victims, which made FEMA look really bad~word spread quickly. The only help FEMA offered was to LOAN uninsured people who lost their homes $20K per household. WhooHoo, I can live in a camper now!
Red Cross sent people around who found churches feeding and clothing victims and survivors, so they decided no help was needed and left the state. Meanwhile the local media begged for donations for The Red Cross. Yeah, send your hard earned dollars to the Rockefellers!
We've had some monkey business going on locally with Goodwill. Workers were "buying" items of value for pennies on the dollar and selling them to antique dealers for the going rates. When it was uncovered some people did some jail time.
