Since we've recently consolidated two households and are now getting ready to move...The wife and I have been getting rid of stuff like it was a sport...

So does anybody know of a place that needs coats for the needy or homeless? I'd hate to donate these to an organization that is going to resell them (like Goodwill) when somebody that truly needs a coat can just HAVE one of ours.

Seriously...We've got probably 15 jackets and coats that need to go between the two of us.

Freecycle groups

Craigslist

If you want to be less involved in the process, take the whole lot to:

any large church group has, or knows another group which has, a clothing closet

Any youth services group, be it govt,. or private

Jesus house, Salvation Army shelter, any Family Shelter

Channel 4 used to run a coats program, not certain if they still do

If you don't feel like chasing down a home, kick me a pm. I'll give you my OKC work address and you can drop the lot at my workplace. I'll pick a distribution place and make them happy for you.

I agree it's a shame to have coats sit idle while others shiver.

City Rescue Mission is a great place to donate your coats. The people who need them most will get them.

City Rescue Mission- Oklahoma City, Ok (http://www.cityrescue.org/)

Outstanding...Thanks guys. Just what I needed.:tiphat:

I donate regularly to Mercy Ministries:

LifeChurch.tv - Oklahoma City - LifeMissions - Mercy Ministries (http://okc.lifechurch.tv/lifemissions/mercy)

They will definitely get your food/clothing/household items into people's hands that are much more needy than you or I. They are off of NE 46th and Sante Fe. Check the hours or call before going as donation times are limited due to it primarily being volunteer run.

KFOR News 4, yes they still do, in honor of Brad Edwards legency. I would suggest donating thru them. You've missed several events (free goodies in exchange for coats), but you can still donate the coats at anytime. Today would be good.

Bethel Foundation for furnishings etc to help single moms.. they are in dire need of beds so the kids & babies can get off of the floors.
