If I'm donating clothes to a mutual aid group, should I put them in transparent garbage bags or inside cardboard boxes once I've washed and folded them?

Ask them. Also, receiving used clothes is the bane of many mutual aid groups and you should make 100% sure they actually want them.

of course, also yeah i assumed so since a lot of homeless shelter sites seem really specific about clothing donations. im waiting on a reply on facebook from one of the people running the group.

if the mutual aid groups and homeless shelters im asking around dont need clothes, are there any other good places that sweaters, t-shirts, socks, jackets could end up

obviously the salvation army and goodwill arent great, maybe another organization?

would it make sense for me to include clean sweaters, socks and underwear in some packages including food and medical supplies or would it just make more sense for me to donate the money i would have used on that and throw away the clothes
