Donate Gently or New Clothing 

The Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington accepts donations of clean and gently-used clothing and household items, including antiques, furniture, bric-a-brac, collectibles, and books at the Look Again Resale Shop on Old Town’s King Street in Alexandria, VA, or in Kensington, MD.

If you’d consider giving these items to family or friends, then they’re generally suitable as donations too. Please drop off items that are clean (free of any stains, tears and pet damage), intact and sellable in containers or bags of manageable size.
