End-of-Summer cleaning: Donate your unused clothes for refugees to prepare for winter

Are you moving to a new apartment, got a new job or cleaning out your closet after coming back from your holiday?

These changes will be reflected in your wardrobe. It’s not practical to bring every single piece of clothing you own, so make use of this opportunity to de-clutter.

Summer is over and now that we are all back from our holidays is time to get on with work again! So…we need your help!

Winter is due to start in a couple of months and cold months are about to begin, so refugees living in our centers in Lebanon will face soon harsh conditions.  Your contribution can make a great difference in their lives. Winter will be difficult for these refugees, so your donations will be a great act to make that winter warm for them, and the will be ready for this winter.

This time in addition to clothes, we’re looking specifically for donations of powdered milk for the great amount of babies living there, or crutches as they could be of great use for the people in the centers.

The only thing you have to do is make a request through the CLOTHESUP project and we will pick up the donation of 5-6 bags (60 litre size) in any place at your convenience.
