There's that international thing appearing again!

In Australia, *every* (or at least the vast majority?) charity shop takes
your no longer needed clothes, toys, kitchenware etc to sell, & then use
the resulting money to fund their activities. Very few of the donated items
are ever passed directly to the homeless / needy.

One exception to this is after natural disasters when physical goods are
passed directly on to those who have lost everything.

Thanks
