My church put me in contact with a local homeless shelter for women and kids. There are tons of women and kids of all ages staying there who don't have anything.
So any clothing that I cannot fit, haven't worn in a year (not counting stuff that's out of season), or just dont want anymore goes there. They also run a program that helps women to prepare for job interviews and get jobs. They provide the women with interview clothes. So I donate all of my old suits that I cannot fit anymore.
The shelter also helps the women find housing arrangements if they have nowhere to live. So they take household items as well, to give to the women who end up getting apartments but do not have furniture or other housewares. I've given away towels, old sheets, books, useless funiture, etc to the shelter to be used in some woman's new apt.
