Where Can I Donate Clothing in Evanston?

Looking for somewhere to get rid of old clothing? Patch put together a list of Evanston organizations accepting clothing donations.

Do you have boxes of old clothes lying around or new clothes you’ll never wear? Instead of letting them collect dust or tossing them, put them to good use by donating them to one of the many Evanston organizations looking for clothing donations.

Patch compiled a list of organizations currently taking clothing donations. Did we miss any? Let us know in the comments section.
