Even if these companies have no heart, I would still think that it would be more profitable to donate these items to charity. Wouldn't the companies get a tax write-off if they donated the clothes to charity?

I worked in California for a grocery chain that helped with alot of charitable
concerns, mostly for the needy. It's unconscionable for this to happen.
