GEN442 We are obligated to provide clothes for the needy.  We are obligated to emulate God.  Just as He clothed the naked, so too must we clothe the naked Sotah14a. Ideally, one should give the finest quality clothing to the poor Maimonides, Laws of Things Forbidden on the Altar 7:11.  However, before one discards used clothes, one should consider the possibility that a poor person would prefer used clothes to none at all Pele Yoatz, halbosho.  Great care must be taken not to embarrass the recipient, since a person may feel humiliated when offered used clothing.  In some communities, volunteers regularly go from house to house collecting clothes that are not needed.  If this commendable practice cannot be instituted, every community should at least appoint someone to keep a list of institutions or individuals who could utilize such garments.  PLYN 30-31
