A viewer with the name Meghan Mayhem said: “Goodwill used to literally be where clothes were donated so they could be sold for cheap to low-income and unhoused people as charity.”
TikTok user Zuul shared: “I don't donate there anymore. I’d rather it go somewhere I know it'll benefit someone other than a corporation's bank account.”
