Good timing perhaps, but today is MLK Day, and our new leader of the free world made repeated pitches to Americans to do something of service for those less fortunate or for the better good of the nation/world. Thinking that our participation in a birthday pub crawl for Maggie was not going to cut it (though it was damn fun and nice to hang out with some new people), we thought we should do more.
We cleaned out our closets and filled up 7 bags of clothes to donate to a global clothing charity. Donating the clothes to a local dropoff now means that some people in Africa, Asia and Latin America will be clothed, though in an odd way they will be looking awfully good in some of the clothes we donated. The organization is Planet Aid, so it's cool that our clothes are going to help people in other nations, not just those who are visiting the local Goodwill store.
The final tally in the 7 bags roughly came out to around 30 pairs of shoes, 4 suits, 3 coats and a huge ton of pants, shirts and sweaters I didn't bother counting. But I'm proud of us. Felt like we did our part, as our new lord and master commanded.
