I recently noticed some collection bins for donations of clothing and shoes set up in the middle of the Shoppers World parking lot.
Then I thought about how Savers, a chain that sells used clothing, might open in the former CompUSA site. Savers buys clothing in bulk from organizations such as Big Brother, Big Sister.
And I thought about St. Vincent de Paul and The Salvation Army and Goodwill and all the clothing seen at local rummage sales and yard sales. Where does it all end up? Where is the end of the “clothes” line?
I have heard of people finding little treasures in castoff clothing, but has anyone ever come across items of clothing in a store that they had donated to one of the larger charitable organizations and never expected to see again?

we need more second hand stores whose profits would go mostly to various charities. i have never seen anything that we donated in the store, never. i remember going to the salvation army donation area and seeing a lot of good stuff there, thinking i sure have to come back and get some of these things. sure enough, you’d never see them in the store. oh well, it works in mysterious ways i suppose.
