👕 Where to donate clothes and shoes in Massachusetts
Clothing is accepted almost everywhere, but it does the most good where it's needed. Shelters and clothing closets need specific things, especially men's clothes, winter coats and new socks and underwear.
Before you go
- Wash everything first and bag it by type.
- Coats and jackets are in highest demand from October to February.
- Men's clothes are almost always short at shelters.
48 places in Massachusetts take clothes and shoes.
