What A Better Way To Be Green With Your Clothes?

Sunday Morning our family got up to the smell of bacon, hashbrowns, eggs and coffee. It is tradition in our home to have a fun breakfast on Sundays. What makes it fun is, I don't have to cook it. My husband has taken on this task for years and now we all look forward to it.
This morning we had somewhere to go, so the extra food was much needed. We go to church on Saturday evenings. This frees us up to be a part of a "village" at our church on Sundays. A village is a group of people that goes out into the community and "is" the church on Sundays. We have helped people paint, clean out garages, weed yards, take care of maintenance issues around the house for people who cannot do it themselves. We meet once a month. Last month and this month we went to our local Gospel Mission.
They have a wonderful little store that they give away clothes at. Our job included helping organize the clothes from the huge piles of donations. All  items are free to anyone who comes in. We also fixed broken tiles in the showers, floors and reset toilets with new wax rings.





I was thinking, what a great way to reuse our used clothing then to give it to the community free of charge. The donations were great....and my family enjoyed searching through the piles for the best stuff to hang up in the store. Have you ever donated your used items? Do you have places in your community that give it away free?
