Clothing Donation Hanover PA Locations

By Elaine Guthrie


Many different local places are available to get discounted prices on gently used slacks, denim and shirts. Most are the second hand stores that accept used clothes, so that other people get access to these pieces. Just about all of the clothing donation Hanover PA stores offer a receipt to the donor for value to use when filing taxes each year.

Due to the down turn of the economy, many lower and middle class families are still dealing with effects so getting new clothes could be entirely out of the question. To still gain nice shirts and slacks, it is more affordable to get them all used. The prices should reflect that they aren't new, and allows everyone the chance to build a nice looking wardrobe.

A lot of women like to use a capsule wardrobe, meaning that they have only three or four pair of bottoms and a skirt or dress. The tops they have may number 4, with a jacket and sweater as a means of dressing up any outfit. Finding vintage pieces such as can be found in these second hand stores make it not only affordable, but easier to locate these pieces.

If you are going through your clothes for the changing seasons or opening up your storage areas, gathering these things together to donate can help. You will gain back room in the basement or closet space, and have a look at things you may not remember you still had. There's something to be said for locating a jacket that is in style again, and knowing you can put it back to use.

Young workers are big customers at these used clothes stores, as they want to look good at school or work but have limited means. This too goes for young families just starting out with small children. Regardless of the style of the clothes or the age group they belong to, there is someone that could use your discarded closet treasures.

Each location asks for the items to all be cleaned and free of dirt when you bring them to be donated. It doesn't mean they're new with tags, but not smelling of mold with dry rotting issues. You can drop these at bins all around our city, or take them into a store and ask where to leave the donated items.

Some places have a truck to come pick up your items, if they are contacted to be informed that a donor exists. It is normally required that a reservation or schedule be made in advance so that one trip a month is able to deal with all areas at once. If a donor needs a receipt, it is best to ask for this at the time your bags are picked up.

Federal tax credits are offered for donating and Hanover, PA state taxes will reflect this as well. You can claim up to $600 worth of donated items without a receipt annually. For more information or professional advice about how to claim this, contact a local CPA office.
