Where do our donated clothes end up?

Every year, Americans donate millions of pounds of clothing to Goodwill, including one of our listeners, who wondered, “When I drop stuff off at Goodwill, where does it go?” We’ve got an answer for that one, as well as more listener questions about  economic sanctions and a predictable story about a common and increasingly pricey cooking ingredient. Here’s a look at everything we talked about on the show today: “How Fed Hikes Could Affect Mortgages, Car Loans, Card Rates” from U.S. News & World Report U.S., allies raise sanctions pressure on Russia ahead of U.N. showdown over Ukraine from NBC News “US keeps imposing sanctions, but how well do they work?” from CNN “A Boom Time for U.S. Sanctions” from The Atlantic “Here’s what Goodwill really does with the stuff you donate” from The Seattle Times “Don’t forget the garlic (industry)” from Marketplace “Here’s Something That You Will Think Stinks: High Garlic Prices” from The Wall Street Journal Do you have a question you want us to answer next?
