My community made a WhatsApp chat to give away clothes. People are always posting and others pm to take. List size, gender and type of clothing but no photos.
Ex bag of girls assorted clothing size 8-10.

If everyone I asked told me that they don't know anyone that gets free or discounted clothing from pick purple or chesed center then I don't think that they really give away to people clothing.

I understood that chesed center sends all donations to Israel.

Thank you for this information! Happy to drop some stuff off. (I think they usually send the stuff to Israel.)

I assume they only pickup in midwood, not BP and surrounding neighborhoods?

Brooklyn should have a serendipity type of store.
Or is there one and I don't know about it?
I don't mean thrift shops in park slope. I mean a frum local place, where people will feel comfortable going and buying something second hand for a few dollars.

Wondering the same. How do we know these organizations are really sending to Israel just because they say so? I have a feeling they sell by the pound for material scraps like pick purple. The chesed center has trucks parked at times filled with bags and bags of clothing. Bag of truck is opened for all to see and its there for days.
