As my reputation grows for being a \u201cgo to person\u201d for where to take used but usable clothes, toys, kitchen supplies, etc., I\u2019ve found that people are starting to drop things off at my house. One reason is that my parish has an in-house thrift store and since I\u2019m there almost every Sunday, it\u2019s easy to take things with me to church and drop them off. People who know me, know that. Problem! The parish has just decided to close the thrift store. This is unfortunate but there are many places to take good stuff (like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.svdpusa.org\/\">St. Vincent de Paul<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodwill.org\/\">Goodwill<\/a>) plus, as I\u2019ve mentioned before, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickupsforvets.org\/\">Viet Vets<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lupuspickup.org\/gd.ZipCodeRedirector\/default.aspx\">Lupus Foundation<\/a> make regular stops at your\u00a0front door to pick up stuff. So I don\u2019t mind storing this stuff for a couple weeks. The latest \u201cdrop off\u201d already came in a convenient bag so I\u2019m just passing it on as is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.susanvogt.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Days-365+32-misc-clothes-to-Lupus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2330\" title=\"Days 365+32 misc clothes to Lupus\" src=\"http:\/\/www.susanvogt.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Days-365+32-misc-clothes-to-Lupus-e1342022774391-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> To make this a legitimate give-away of my own, I\u2019ve added a few miscellaneous dresses and jackets that I\u2019ve found I haven\u2019t worn in awhile.
