What to do with my "too big" clothes???
My sister is the Director of Outreach East, a Non-profit that helps qualified individuals and families with heat, clothes, food, gas money, or whatever they may need for day-to-day survival.
They are setting up a section of their facility as a "professional clothing" section. They are asking for donations of clothing in good shape that people can wear for job interviews and professional work situations. She came up with this because so many people were coming to her asking for money because they didn't have anything to wear to job interviews.
They service the Davison area and can take donations from anyone. I live in Traverse City, and will be giving all my bigger clothing I can no longer wear.
I think its a great cause and if you do to, please feel free to contact her (her name is Jan) at:
[email protected]. Their website is Outreacheast.org and has a mission statement as to their purpose. This is also tax deductible and you will get a receipt with the value that you have determined.
If you would like to donate locally in your area, I'm sure there are organizations with the same purpose that would benefit and love to have your old clothing.

I need to get ahold of them to throw away my DD cloths. She's moved out but her stuff hasn't.
They just opened a Salvation Army in Davison too.
BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

I too only buy 1 pair of jeans at a time. I found a great sale here and bought dress pants in 3 different sizes to have for when I get to them! For the price I couldn't beat it.
I was looking through my suit jackets this morning and told my husband that's the next thing I'll be going through... I have a ton of them. Its hard to part with them because they're really nice, but I can't wear them any longer... why stay attached? Not once have I thought "well maybe I can wear this again"... I know they are too big and just hang on me..... But the good thing will be - I'll have a LOT more room in my closet because of it!!

Yes I'm happy to be looking at the regular sizes too. I still have some weight to get off and am looking forward to looking at even the smaller sizes and hopefully soon!
