The lady running the coat drive in Buffalo said cash beats used coats, and I spent 3 Saturdays learning she was right
I kept hauling garbage bags of donated coats to her church basement until she finally said the shelter buys new ones in bulk for $12 each, so our $200 in gas and sorting time would have warmed 16 people instead of 9, and now I want to know if other donation drives run the same way or if she was just tired of me.

Learned that lesson the hard way too. Ran a toy drive where we spent weeks fixing up old stuffed animals, then found out the shelter could buy new ones in bulk for like $3 a piece. Cash just goes further because they know what people actually need. Your lady wasn't tired of you, she was doing you a favor by telling you straight.
