I don't mean to be rude, but I suspect it's a little late for you to try to do something impulsive. Whatever you do, don't end up being a burden somewhere you mean to help.

I don't mean to be rude but telling someone who wants to help that "it is too late" or "don't be a burden" is just a total bitchy thing to do.

Actually you can just show up for the Montgomery County day!

My mother always made sure that the clothes we donated were clean, mended perfectly and ironed then placed in a clean box. I have continued this with my kids - it establishes a sense of pride in the donation and not just throwing old clothes in a large garbage bag. I can't describe it but it is a dignity-thing.

I love this and do the same with my children. It does give dignity to the donation. Little children receiving those clothes deserve clean and mended items and it's wonderful to teach our kids that.

Head down to MLK Ave. S.E and pick up bullet casings.

It's so true what Chris Rock has said about MLK Blvd in any given city.

This is for MoCo, but probably other things going on in DC or VA depending on where you live:
