Recycling Resources:  Shoes and Clothes

 

Most of us have more shoes and clothes than we know what to do with.  Even if you are a minimalist when it comes to fashion, often you have things that don’t fit or you simply no longer wear.  Let’s take some time to declutter our closets and drawers and find things that others might need or simply enjoy more!

Here are some great places to donate your gently used shoes and clothes.
