I have a hefty trash bag of swimsuits that look new but are too stretched, (especially in the upper half) to wear. We can recycle running shoes at our gym. Does anyone know of a location to donate used swimsuits?
Hello,
We are still here and still in need of old suits for the quilts that we make. If anyone has any old suits that they want to repurpose to a good cause please let me know. You can also email us at Quilts4Homeless@yahoo.com
Thanks
I Googled and came across this USMS thread from 2008 --

Some comments in that thread are worth heeding, e.g. #40:
Is it just me or does something just sound weird about this???
I don't mean to be putting down what seems to be a noble cause but I'm just going to throw out that it is known people out there have obscure fetishes and will do elaborate things do satisfy them.
Edit: Google her email address. It seems she's also in the market for used bras and panties for making quilts.... It may be the stuffy new englander in my blood but this just sounds fishy.
I found this post from 2012 on the F/B page of Jennifer Mcconnelly (Quits4Homeless):
We can really really use any and all bras that we can get. We are a quilting group that makes quilts for those that are less fortunate. We use the straps, sides and hooks from bras to fashion handles for the quilts that also keep them rolled up when they are not being used.
Which explains that.
I did not get a response when I contacted the given (in earlier year) email. I believe others had the same problem, though Jayhawk (IIRC) was able to make contact.
