Where To Go With It?        At this point in the New Year, some of us have likely done some closet and wardrobe purging-- some in a spate of closet organization, some to make room for new items snapped up in after-Christmas sales.  Now what do you do? Several charities are thrilled to take those legwarmers, stirrup pants, and outgrown blouses from your doorstep.  But who to trust?  Some people prefer to hold a yard sale, and either treat themselves to reorganization hardware or a budget break with the money.  Others take the cash and pass it on to a charity they trust.  But if you live in an apartment, or would like to bypass strangers asking how much you're charging for the garden hose you hid on the back porch, consider donating directly to a reputable charity.  We're all familiar with Goodwill and the Salvation Army, but there are other options as well, such as the Vietnam Veterans of America and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.  Dress for Success accepts business attire for low-income women seeing work.  Churches in your area may directly support families in need, so ask around. If you're intrigued by a new or lesser-known charity, always do your homework; unfortunately, scams abound.  This website is invaluable in the art of the double-check.  You'll find everything you'll need to know, from verifying the charity's existence to checking out much of its donations are lost to overhead.  Happy tossing-- and giving!
