I know about Goodwill and the Salvation Army but I was looking for a place where I can donate and people will use my donation right away. What I am trying to say is, at Goodwill they sell the donations to help out the needy, how about a place where things are not sold but given to someone that needs it?
Women's shelters [y]. A lot of women are escaping domestic violence and need to move and leave everything behind and have to start over. You could also call local churches and see if they know of any families in need.
