We are volunteering at a teenage shelter, and one of our tasks is to arrange a clothing room that the kids can get clean clothes from but they are short on hangers, is there a chance of donating some of these hangers? I would pay shipping.
Andrew - I have wire hangers too - if you need more - my husband gets them with his uniforms each week so I get 10/week. email me if you are interested. amybourcier AT bex.net
A thrift store, second-hand store, or maybe a small local clothing boutique will take them. I put them with our clothes when we donate to Purple Hearts, or the St. Vincent DePaul thrift store.
We recycled them. Cut them apart, fold the pieces and used these to hold corners and edges of the weed mat we put under our rock garden. Found most of our hangers at garage sales.

Request: Who will take my wire hangers?
Archived on 02/16/2009
My son worked for over a year at a shop that supplied uniforms from a service. Now I have literally thousands of wire hangers. I am in the process of moving and need to find someone who need/wants wire hangers. Any suggestions?

Your coat hangers might come in handy at a church thrift store, also maybe Salvation Army, Volunteers of America or any organization like that. (01/26/2001)
In addition to all the great suggestions that you have received so far, I can think of a few more. Retirement homes and hospitals are usually in need of hangers for their patients/residents, also most shelters could really use hangers for their residents. (01/29/2001)
Donate your wire hangers to any dry-cleaners. I also collect safety pins and take them back when I've amassed a lot of them. (02/01/2001)

You could see if there's a women's shelter near to you and ask them if they want some. A lot of women (yes, and men, too) walk out with nothing and have to start again from scratch. I donated a bed to my local shelter a couple of years back. It's good to know your old stuff is going to a good home. (08/13/2004)

Forget the Salvation Army and Goodwill - they only want plastic hangers. (11/21/2007)

It's a wire hanger have/need match-up website. (12/05/2008)
