Where to Donate Used Clothing in Philly: WCI Weds
Need to empty your closet of clothes that haven’t seen the outside world in a while?
There’s a few places to drop off used clothing in Philadelphia, as we address in this week’s Where Can I Wednesday column.
After reading so much about the freeing feelings with the  reduced “stuff” movement including You Can Buy Happiness (And It’s Cheap), I purged massive amounts during a closet clean-out spree. (See photo, left. I need to replicate this 6 more times.)
Whether you have a car or not in the city, there’s several organizations that will take your unwanted jeggings and former favorite pair of pants.
