The second flood -- unsorted clothing piling up in the Gulf area [View All]

Channel surfing overnight between MSNBC and CNN and they were doing a report on the staggering amount of clothing already there and arriving daily. They have no place to put it, no place to sort it and right now it is not in demand.

They showed three girls (about 5th grade I imagine) in one church trying to sort it according to mens, womens and childrens but it was piled high in boxes and bags all over in and around the church.

We were warned. More than one interviewee said that because there is no place to store it it may be left out in the open and eventually just be sent straight to the landfills. The cost of relocating the clothing to other areas is undoable and manpower is being used for more important tasks.
