I brought clothes to Children's Orchard in Norwood. You have to make an appointment, and bring in up to 2 bags of clothing, sets put together, all freshly laundered. Clothes from BT Kids, Osh Kosh and Gymboree that were worn only once or twice were turned away! They took mostly clothes with tags still on them, and only gave $1-$2 per item. What a waste of time. They will sell them for at least $8 each. Included in the items they took were a winter coat, brand new gymboree overalls--for $2 each. I'd rather give them away for all the trouble.
Pros: If you were going to give the clothes away anyway, you walk away w/ more $ than you went in with
Cons: Lot of preparation, driving, and hassle
