[Mrs. Don-o]

Bless you, I take it you don't have kids?

We have only two, but we have always accepted bags of clothes from the cousins who outgrew them, and given bags of clothes to the littler kinfolk, and to organized charities.

Just last winter, a lady at church gave me a beautiful coat. Unfortunately, it was too small. I passed it on instantly to my sister-in-law.

I think most families recycle clothes in this way. It's as normal, natural, and non-blame-worthy as accepting a bag of apples from your neighbors, and giving them cupcakes in return.

Same here, our network includes friends too. Clothes that kids have outgrown but aren't worn out are a valuable commodity.

Well said.
