Are donation centers usually interested in worn-out clothing that needs repair?

Donation centers typically prefer clothing items that are in good condition and suitable for resale or redistribution. Worn-out clothing that requires repairs often does not meet the standards set by these centers for items they accept. Most donation centers operate with the goal of providing quality clothing to those in need or reselling items to fund their operations, and accepting damaged or heavily worn items can lead to increased costs in sorting and discarding unusable items. Therefore, it is common for these centers to decline worn-out clothing that isn't fit for use without significant effort to repair it. This approach helps maintain the integrity and quality of the donations offered to recipients.
