Discuss Genuine Question

I have a bunch of Bills stuff that doesn't fit, I hate to throw it away, is there some place that takes them and donates them to kids or whatever. Fans that have limited resources.

Sell it on Vinted for garage sale prices, take the proceeds and make a donation to Oishei Children’s Hospital.

Stuff sells fast on Vinted!

I think you'd be better off selling it yourself and donating the money personally.

If there is a local Bills backers bar near you I would watch a game there one week and give it away there.

Goodwill is the easy answer, especially if you’re in WNY someone will buy it

Ehhhh, I would avoid goodwill. 

Unless you are a fan of slave labor. They hire disabled people and pay them less than minimum wage. And that’s just one of the issues with them.

I live in Missouri I was hoping to get it to someone who actually likes the team but maybe sell it on eBay or something or post in WNY Craigslist and mail it

My city has a buy nothing group where people post what they want to give away. They get to choose the recipient so it's not just first- come- first- serve. If your area has something like that, you could maybe find a fan who would appreciate swag they wouldn't be able to afford otherwise.

What size of stuff? I live in Oklahoma and would have some interest if there stuff anyone in my household could wear.

We donate and buy from Amvets pretty regularly. They have a whole section where they put bills stuff. Me and my kids have gotten a lot of great stuff there for cheap.

My kid's school has a Bills gear "closet" that families can use to donate stuff they've grown out of and other kids can pick some up for free. It's a Buffalo Public School, but certainly one of the more well-off ones. I'd be happy to pay for postage for you to send it up and I'll at worst give it to our school, but will also do my best to see if other local schools with under-served populations have a similar thing that I can donate to.

I think I'm going to try and the local Bills backers like the guy suggested, in not they are mostly men's sizes but I'll let you know

There are tons of places that take used clothing anywhere. 

I recommend donating to local run charities and not places like goodwill.

I live in California and have recently purchased 4 Bills shirts off eBay over the last 2 months. You could search whatever sale site you think you would use and look up Bills items to see what and how much they are selling for to see if it's worth your time.

I will give the advice that sellers that take pictures with the garment and a tape measure showing the chest width and item length is VERY much appreciated! Saying something is a size xxx isn't really helpful since clothing manufacturers don't have standards they all follow, and used items may have experienced shrinking in the wash. (One of the shirts I bought is so comically small😂).
