https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/12607/donate-used-swimsuitsI 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?en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/199951?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 12 Dec 2016 03:23:52 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2befce6c-e31f-44f7-b173-f3bca583b280ViveBeneI 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.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/199911?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 11 Dec 2016 09:22:18 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1423c4ec-e2a3-4dc1-8d7c-fc41449a87c7Former MemberI Googled and came across this USMS thread from 2008 -- forums.usms.org/showthread.php Dan 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&#39;t mean to be putting down what seems to be a noble cause but I&#39;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&#39;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.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/199837?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 04 Dec 2016 08:15:08 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:36763c7d-42c9-462f-91ea-0304a35f359cFormer MemberHello, 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<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/199824?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 Nov 2016 12:12:51 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a10c5d34-57fe-4b1f-8a64-9b3ff7ba0cebjpetykI wonder if they are still in business...that is a great way to repurpose the old suits.!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/199815?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:47:13 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9000205e-b92a-42d9-8c7e-24f80db8d95cForceDJI Googled and came across this USMS thread from 2008 -- forums.usms.org/showthread.php Dan<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/199804?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 08 Nov 2016 11:04:26 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:24a5ff52-efd9-4389-9bed-9a78867a2613orca1946No - but that is a good idea. they would need to be washed by the receiving agency before donating. Maybe some 3rd world country collecting agency?<div style="clear:both;"></div>
