This is what Goodwill says.......(from their FAQ on their site)



My mother shops at Goodwill all the time. I tell her it's better to

shop elsewhere because poor people need those goods. Who's right?

Your mom. Goodwill shopping is for those of us who want to save money

and help fund services for people with barriers to employment at the

same time. Our in-store surveys show that people from all walks of

life and incomes shop at Goodwill frequently.

Perhaps there is another way to look at this. Buy something you

can put to it's best use BUT donate something of equal value that

someone else can put to it's best use. For instance you might

really use those Craft base layers to train or race in (which is

what they were designed for after all) and someone else could

really use a good warm jacket, decent work clothes or respectable

shoes that you might not need so much right now. And let's not

forget that the money Goodwill charges helps keep their doors open.

Every business - for profit or not - needs cash flow.

 Before everyone runs out...It might be nice to leave

warm clothes for those who might not have access to

quality winter gear this holiday season.



Just a thought...If you can afford to race a bike, you

can probably afford to let those less fortunate have

first dibs on warm clothing at affordable prices.



Cheers,

Puskas

 Goodwill at 122nd has a huge pile of Craft base

layers for about 4 bucks a

piece. I believe they all have some sort of minor

flaw, but all I could

find was minor fabric "runs" etc...

there are shirts and pants in multiple styles and

sizes are plentiful except

small, lots of bigger sizes too

maybe craft pitched them to goodwill due to failed

inspection???
