WHERE to Donate Stuff in general

Donate your food, bedding, clothing and other items at a local level to churches, schools and other organizations. Or at remote collection facilities for the various agencies if possible.

I spoke to each agency today and they report that:
The San Antonio Food Bank wants Food and Toiletries as listed above. No clothes. No blankets.
The Salvation Army wants food, toiletries, and blankets, but no more clothes for the next week.
Goodwill will accept clothing and blankets and will accept your food & toiletry donations for the Food Bank.

So take clothing to Goodwill or smaller local agencies, but not the Salvation Army (for now). Or hang on to it for a moment.
