Where to Donate Outgrown Clothes Near You

Where to Donate Outgrown Clothes Near You

September 07 2023

One of the many to-do items on our back-to-school list is buying new clothes for our growing kiddos. To make way for new clothes, worn-out and outgrown clothes often end up in a trash bag or shopping bag with an undetermined destination. 

Before you drop off those items at a for-profit resale shop or leave them on the curb for free pickup, consider donating them to a local nonprofit. Many charitable organizations in the area run resale shops of their own, with proceeds going right back into their programs to help your neighbors in need. Are you worried that your items might be too worn out to be reused? Many nonprofits will gladly accept such articles and recycle them for cash! It's a win-win.

Check out this list of nonprofits near you and make plans to drop off your items this week.

Cypress Assistance Ministries
CAM is located at 12930 Cypress N Houston in Cypress. A huge part of our ability to provide family assistance is through donations from the community. Donating your gently used household items including kitchen items, furniture, toys, books, small electrical appliances, and clothing is a terrific way to support CAM!
