How Can You Make an Impact with Your Pre-Loved Clothing?

Now that summer is coming to an end, it’s a perfect opportunity to examine your current wardrobe and consider donating anything you no longer want or need. Chances are, you’re holding onto some summer clothes you don’t plan on wearing next year. Or, maybe you’re ready to make room for updated autumn outfits. In either case, it’s always a great time to donate!
