These are a few questions that can be asked to determine if clothing is suitable for donation:
- Is the item gently used or terribly used?
- Is the item more suitable for the dump?
- If a friend of family member buys this, would they look put together?
- Does the item being donated have any holes, stains, tears/rips, or mould?
- Any items with holes, stains, tears or mould will not be accepted by the The Red Cross Shop.
Aside from clothing, the Red Cross Shop accepts household goods (cutlery, dishes,pots and pans), books, entertainment materials (DVDs, games, CDs), toys, exercise equipment, and linens, to name a few.
