Wouldn't care if they were used by Syrians or other refugees as long as somebody was willing to take them all away at once. We are trying to clean our house not do social service. If by our house cleaning we can help an organization then great.
The Tohoku idea sounds great. Will ask around.
There is a Hard Off fairly near our house, will ask there as well.
Thank you for those who actually give constructive solutions. If there are other ideas, please keep them coming.
You have 120 business suits to give away. OMG
. Is this normal in Japan? Apartments in Japan are rather small. Where do you keep them
?
FWIW - when my husband gave away business suits - he gave them to people we knew (like the husband of our housekeeper) - who were approximately his size - to be used (with minimal alterations) at events like funerals (these people really couldn't afford to buy nice suits). OTOH - he at most gave away 1 or 2 at a time. I doubt my husband has owned even 50 suits during the course of his life. I personally would recommend gifts like this - to people you know. I don't think business suits are very useful items of clothing for the homeless (whether or not they're refugees). Robyn
