If you're local in the Champaign, Illinois area I just read this article from Saturday's paper. Apparently, the Salvation Army of Champaign County is "reaching the bottom of its inventory at its thrift shops on North Market Street and West John Street in Champaign". Time to clean out those closets and basements - they need everything (clothes, shoes, household items, purses, etc.)! Winter, and especially the month of February, are typically slow donation months for charities like S.A. The article says that demand, on the other hand, has not slacked off.
"Money from the two Salvation Army stored funds its emergency services - housing, rental assistance, food and other support for the poor."
Let's make February 2011 their best February ever!
