All the women and their children were destitute. If anyone has concerns their federal taxes returns (Form 990) will give a snapshot of its income and expenses (salaries, etc).
Personally, we have never donated clothing to Goodwill. Given the fact all the garments are of no cost to Goodwill the prices are way to high. That may not be true in all areas of the country, but, in my local area the Goodwill stores are operated as if they are profit motivated. Considering the high corporate salaries, I think they are.
Anyway, check out the battered women's shelters. Usually, they are in great need of women's clothing suitable for job interviews and work, i.e., dresses and skirts/blouses, and, clean and usable undergarments. Years ago at the home we donated there was a great need for plus size clothing.
