I am going to donate some clothes of mine for a charity today. Some old books and toys will have to go too. This has always been done by my family throughout past years.Hopefully, the items will be put to good use. Thanks mum for sending the items over.

@holdoors That's awesome! My mother and I use to knit baby hats and send them to hospitals around Christmas time. It always warms my heart!

A round of applause for you. As the saying goes, a man's trash is other man's treasure. I hope it can be put to good use.

Well, I definitely hope so. It is not trash but more of a sharing thing I guess.

@holdoors others prefer to burn their clothes and others than to give them to the needy.

Yes, I think it is important to give what we can. Helping can be in many forms so there is no excuse not to give.

Donating and doing nice things for others can give a person a very good feeling. I feel good when I am selling and like a friend's cat was sick and I had to give her something for the cat and she wanted to pay and I told her I want to do this. Someone came in that I did not know and they bought something and it turned out to be the man's birthday and I gave him something and would not take money. It feels good to do something nice for someone.

We do the same, just need daughter to part more easily with stuff, she is an emotional keeper. She remembers who gave her what and then doesn't want to part with it. My fall down is books. I'm working on that. lol

I do the same but not necessarily to the charity agency. In our neighborhood, we know that some are in need of help. I may give used clothes or even new clothes and some money set aside for this purpose.

That's a really nice activity with your family. For years my mom and I donates food and some clothing to devastated areas usually when a big storm hits the country. When I was in college I did some community service to an orphanage. It was fun interacting with them. I wish I could go back.
