[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wider circle doesn’t take clothes. [/quote]

A Wider Circle does take clothes, but only if they are business wear. I could be wrong, but think this includes “business casual” and not just suits. They also take professional-looking accessories like shoes and handbags. [/quote]

Good to know. Last time we were there, they said no clothes.

This is not true. They collect clothes for all ages. The only criteria is that they are gamely used. They have clientele of all ages who need good clothes. [/quote]

Actually I think yiu are right after all. I dropped off clothes and shoes last week and no one complained so I did not realize they had changed their policy.
