This BBC article is about British charity, but at least some U.S. clothing donations end up in the same trade stream.

I am actually shocked by the fact that people are making money out of charity.

So am I. Rags to riches, yeah right. They don’t respect philanthropic donors at all?
That said, I’m going to send all clothes I can spare to Kirsten, who won’t go to Africa and make a fortune out of them!
It will take forever to ship to you, Kirsten. :D
I’m not particularly bothered that they’re making money distributing donated clothing. It would be another matter entirely if the donated clothing ended up on the rack at an upscale department store in Cleveland or something . . .
But IB, why would it take forever to ship your spare clothes?
lol, because i’m not sending, hence the taking forever. ( I was just joking in the previous comment)
Or do you want me to send you some dresses? lol (jk)
