I take clothes to the St.Vincent de Paul bin behind St.Julia’s Church in Weston Center. I go there because I know there is more direct use of clothing and/or $$ from sales that goes to programming and people in need. Think Lincoln Food Pantry and the St.VdP Lincoln Emergency Fund-all volunteer run. There is a much smaller bureaucratic structure than GoodWill.
