Your donations to this organization benefit low-income women who are trying to find work and get back on their feet. It asks that handbags should preferably be large enough to fit a resume or portfolio and it accepts professional clothing and accessories like cardigans, blazers, pants, and shoes. Just read over the list carefully because they won't take everything you might want to get rid of.

Drop off clothing at any one of the locations across Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Queens, and they'll be sorted into different grades at a facility and then redistributed to second-hand markets. GrowNYC accepts clean, dry clothing, shoes, linens, bags, and more. Any items that are not in a suitable condition for reuse will be recycled into cleaning rags or fiber products like insulation. There's a use for everything, people!

The shop's founder, Liz Wolff, was diagnosed with type 1 (juvenile) diabetes when she was 11 years old, & turned her passion of hunting around garage sales and thrift stores into a non-profit that gives 100 percent of proceeds to benefit type 1 diabetes research and advocacy. Clothes, furniture items, housewares, accessories, jewelry, and art pieces are accepted. If you find yourself shopping there after dropping off your goods, you'll find pretty unique things.

Homeless and hungry New Yorkers seek refuge here and get meals, housing, and gain access to life-saving programs and community resources. Donations of clean, new, or gently-used casual and professional clothing and accessories will go towards those who need it the most. Items like coats, scarves, gloves, and hats are especially appreciated during colder months if you're cleaning out your winter wardrobe.
