Clothes exchange anywhere local?

 Hi all, 
I apologize in advance if this gets covered all the time, I stay over on the Lapband forum most of the time!  But last night I was trying on my thousands of black slacks and most of them are too big and some of them haven't even been worn or barely worn. I thought what a shame it would be to send them to good will, I would love for somebody around here to have them as they are losing the weight.  I have lots of nice work clothes that I'd love to give to somebody.  Is there a local clothing exchange somewhere around here?  I'm in Cobb County and would go anywhere in metro Atlanta to give these clothes to somebody who could use them.  They are 22's and 24's.

Thanks!!
Lex

Hi!!!   I have not heard about a clothes exchange before, I'm pretty new here and could really use some nice work clothes... What a blessing that would be!  If you still have them available and would like I could meet you anywhere!!    Thanks in advance... I'm looking forward to the time that I can offer up all my clothes to someone in need!!    I work in Forest Park  I'm not sure how close that is to Cobb county..

Would 22's and 24's work for you?  I have a lot more to clean out of my closet.  Maybe we could meet somewhere in between -- Cobb County is Marietta area, northwest of Atlanta and you're south.

Ok, let me get some more together and then we can plan something so it'll be worth your time.  I'll be glad somebody can use them!

Yes, I have a lot of 22's, some 20's that are big on me.  I need 18's.  The one that is around here I had heard it was more a older crowd, which there is nothing wrong with, BUT that is not my style.  I would like to find some younger people to do a clothing exchange with.
