( ID: Tumblr user wiisagi-maiingan: Here is an annual reminder that poor people are not a guilt-free way to get rid of your junk. Food kitchens do not want the cans of slimy green beans that have been buried in your pantry for a year. Homeless shelters don't want your stained and torn clothes or your paper thin Shein hauls. Thrift stores don't want your torn up furniture, broken toys, or scratched up teflon pans. Homeless people on the street don't want whatever random assortment of groceries you feel like doling out from your bags. If it's not good enough for you, if it's not good enough to give to your friends or family, then why do you think it's good enough for people struggling just to survive? Poor people don't need your trash or junk that you don't feel like throwing away, they need actual help and support. If you want to provide real and tangible support to organizations like shelters and food kitchens, and you have the means to do so, the best way to help is by donating MONEY. Those organizations know the things they need the most and they almost always have arrangements with companies and local businesses to get deals and discounts so every dollar you donate goes way, way farther than you think. Tumblr user shofarsogood: If you have stained or torn towels, bedding, and blankets, donate them to your local animal shelters. The animals don't care if your sheets are gross. Human beings do. )
Exactly. Stained and ripped stuff should be priced as scraps for crafting not clothes for people. Broken stuff should be the same. Dated stuff, a single button is a little loose, pants tight on the waist?
