    I'd say about twice a year (as a minimum). In my last donation were some clothes with the tags still on. I had bought them pre-pregnancy and decided the chances of getting back into them after three babies was fairly slim.

    I also donate through work to a group that collects work wear for women jobseekers. It means they can wear a suit for a job interview or if they have recently got a job but no income yet, it means they can wear suitable attire for the first few weeks in their job until their first pay.

    I also did a big clean out of toys recently and tried to find a women's shelter to donate them to but every shelter in our area had enough. A good thing I guess so I took them to the salvos instead.

    DH is a bit of a hoarder and I'm not so I enjoy cleaning out and donating to people who really need it.

    Yesterday a car load FULL (and I have a Kia )
    A heap of baby stuff, some kids papason chairs that were sitting here collecting dust and some books.

    I keep teddies though and take them to the hospital's children's ward. They are very appreciative of them and give them to children who need a little someone to cuddle.
