Savers

Yesterday there was a field trip at Savers with plenty of information of what actually goes down for the products to be out for sale. Before I thought that whatever you donate goes straight into the store for sale. You would donate your clothes and then they would have to be met to a certain criteria that includes cleanliness and such. Then it it gets a pass it will be priced and such. If it does not pass the criteria then it gets shipped to the bigger Savers Factory and it it doesn't pass there, the clothes go where they are needed(Specifically developing countries). A frequent question these thrift stores get is " do you wash the clothes" and that's a no. These thrift stores think that if the clothes meet a good criteria then nothing should be done to them. Like no mending or washing.
