Out with the old, in with the new! Spring is in the air and with it comes the annual tradition of spring cleaning. As you go through your closet and drawers, you may find yourself with a pile of gently used clothes that no longer fit or that you no longer wear. Rather than tossing them out, consider donating them to a good cause. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to donate your used items in Halifax.
