Default Favorite Donation Spots?

I'm constantly clearing out my closet and making a couple trips a year to the Mustard Seed.

It won't be getting any warmer out and I've got a bunch of pillows and blankets to donate. I assume the Mustard Seed would take these also, but I was wondering where you all like to donate and why that specific spot.

Help me out!

Good Will. There's a big donation drop centre right near Chinook.

SPCA and the Salvation Army are the only two that get my money, in that order.

I've made several trips to The Women In Need Society over the years.

There is a clothes donation spot in the parking lot of North Hill mall. I think it is for the kidney foundation.

I remember them being everywhere years ago, and now all the ones I know of are gone. What happened to them? I assume too many people throwing out garbage..
