Some sell donated items to raise money for their causes. Other charities give the clothing, toys, household items, etc. directly to their clients. There are a few groups in town that accept donations of specific items, such as books. Remember that all books, especially children's books, cookbooks, literature and reference books such as encyclopedias are wanted by the Friends of the Austin Public Library for their annual book sale in late September in at the lower level of Palmer Auditorium. The sale benefits the library system's programs and equipment that are not funded through the regular city budget.
Contributions are tax deductible.
