If you don’t know what to do with your unwanted clothes, here are a few of the easiest places to donate that will help out the community.
Street Chic Boutique
Last month, Interfaith Sanctuary launched this new option for helping get your unwanted clothes to the folks who need them most. Their focus is on helping people who don’t have consistent shelter or income for clothes boost their confidence and well-being through fashion. A good outfit makes a big difference!
If you have donations, email amanda@interfaithsanctuary.org to easily set up a drop off time.
Idaho Youth Ranch & Other Donation Centers
The nonprofit Idaho Youth Ranch is one of most popular places to donate clothes because they have so many locations around the Treasure Valley — Boise alone has six — and a simple outdoor drop off option.
Boise Rescue Mission is a faith-based shelter and accepts donations of clothes, along with furniture, food and more.
The Savers Community Donation Center is open Monday through Sunday, 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. It’s a for-profit company, but it does make donations simple!
Boise Mutual Aid Collective
This direct action group offers drop off every Monday at Rhodes Skate Park, 5 - 6 p.m. This isn’t a catch-all donation center, though. They assess community needs constantly and share what’s needed on Instagram ahead of the drop off, so you can be sure that whatever items you bring from their list will be used.
Other Donations
- The Women’s and Children’s Alliance is in high need of pantry items and gift cards.
- Cooks are needed for the Boise Kitchen Collective during May.
- The Boise Rescue Mission needs toilet paper, size five diapers, men’s underwear, menstrual products, dryer sheets, and hair ties.
