Clothing Donation Hanover PA Locations

By Elaine Guthrie


Many different local places are available to get discounted prices on gently used slacks, denim and shirts. Most are the second hand stores that accept used clothes, so that other people get access to these pieces. Just about all of the clothing donation Hanover PA stores offer a receipt to the donor for value to use when filing taxes each year.

Due to the down turn of the economy, many lower and middle class families are still dealing with effects so getting new clothes could be entirely out of the question. To still gain nice shirts and slacks, it is more affordable to get them all used. The prices should reflect that they aren't new, and allows everyone the chance to build a nice looking wardrobe.

Many women today are going back to a capsular wardrobe, where only a few bottoms as well as a dress and a skirt are owned. Around four tops in total and a jacket and sweater are included, so that an outfit can be made to look dressier. Those who love this idea try to incorporate vintage pieces such as those that are commonly found in these stores, and make it more affordable to do so.

If you are going through your clothes for the changing seasons or opening up your storage areas, gathering these things together to donate can help. You will gain back room in the basement or closet space, and have a look at things you may not remember you still had. There's something to be said for locating a jacket that is in style again, and knowing you can put it back to use.

A large portion of customers to these kinds of stores are young and teenage workers, due to their meager disposable income. It is also shown that young families with small children make up a big percentage of these customers. So no matter who they were made for, you can be sure that someone is going to find a use for your discarded items.

All of these locations do ask that you launder your donated pieces prior to bringing them in. This doesn't mean they have to be in perfect shape, but simply clean and not molded or dry rotted. They can be bagged or left at certain drop bins around the city or taken to a reselling store's customer representative.

Some stores have trucks that are sent out periodically to collect your bags, if they are contacted to be told when it is available. Many ask that you try to schedule this in advance so they can coordinate your stop with others in the neighborhood. If you need a tax receipt, ask for one when the worker comes to collect your pieces.

You can get credits on your federal and Hanover, PA state taxes for donating to one of these businesses. Without a receipt up to $600 can be claimed each year. To get specific information on this or other tax questions, it is ideal to talk to a CPA.
