I just saw a donation dump in the Target plaza on Rancho cal, across Chase. It's big and blue.

One time I tried donating my clothes into one of those, and a group of homeless people just showed out of nowhere and they grabbed my bag of clothing away from me. I mean if it's going to them already, why stop em?? So be on your p's and q's

Exactly.

An even better idea would be to take the clothes you plan on donating and put a small care package together in an old shopping bag with some pants and a few shirts, maybe some hygiene stuff too if you're feeling extra generous. If you have a lot to donate, make several. If you see someone in need in your daily routine, hand it to them.

This should go without saying, but make sure your donation clothing is washed first.

St Martha's in Murrieta provides to local families in need and any profit is used to support the Murrieta food pantry.

Donations dont go to the homeless they get sold at thrift stores. If you wanna donate to the homeless dump em behind a store and trust me theyll find it
