What can I do with 150 brand new t shirts (all sizes) left over from a fundraiser?

Question

The non-profit is now defunct. I would give them to Goodwill, but the one in our area is notorious for treating the donations badly. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Contact your local school. Most schools have a clothes closet for the underprivileged. You can make a tax deductible donation there.

Answer 2

several churches have what is called shoebox projects. They collect shoeboxes and fill them with necessitys to ship to poor countries at church time.

Answer 3

Donate them to a homeless shelter.

Answer 4

Donate them another source such as a shelter for homeless or a orphanage if you can try to find a salvation army or just send them to antoher "Good"will

Answer 5

Tie dye them and sell them to your local grocer or clothing shops..or just set up a rack on a busy street and sell them yourself...Colorful things attract customers like bees to honey..

Good Luck...

Answer 6

Call some churches in your neighborhood and ask them.

Answer 7

There are other groups, but there is one that sells tham as rags. See if there is a church who collect things for use in this country! There is one in my area, they get everything I have to give away. I know it stays in this country & isn't used as rags.

Answer 8

If you are really serious there's one group who needs t-shirt for the needy kids in the Phils. email: [e-mail]

Answer 9

I have several ideas.  One of them is can the organization that is defunct sell the shirts to pay creditors, If not sell the shirts on eBay for another charity (or you).

What about the local churches, synagauges, or mosques

take the shirts for the needy.

Just ideas to help you.

Good luck.
