How to Donate Ski Clothes in Michigan

Michigan residents are no strangers to cold winters and snow. The midwestern state sees more than its fair share of the white stuff each year, making Michigan a prime location for winter sports and recreation. There are many ski areas in Michigan. For some residents with limited budgets, the costs of ski gear, clothing and lift tickets is prohibitive. A donation of ski clothing or gear will help get those Michigan residents out and sliding on snow.
