In which orphanage you can give things. We disassemble wardrobe with benefits: where to give unnecessary things

07.07.2018

Divide all things into three parts:

Those that you like and fit in size - you will keep this part for yourself.
Slightly worn things in good condition (or even completely new), which you do not fit for various reasons: do not go, do not like, do not match the size. All of them will go to charities and shops.
Old things that are time to send in the trash: too worn, with obvious defects and stains.

Now it's time to think about how to distribute things from the second category. So…

Where you can hand over old clothes

Social Service Centers

Such a center can be found in every city. Wash things and put them in order, sort them into packages, sign the contents (this will facilitate the work of the foundation staff) and take them to the nearest social center.

Graduates of orphanages

In orphanages, worn items, as a rule, do not take. But at the same time you can provide assistance to a graduate - call one of the orphanages and say that you would like to offer things for graduates (this can be not only clothes, but also furniture, household appliances and other household items).

Most find needing

Find a person who needs help, you can own. Almost everyone has familiar families with many children, single mothers and other people who find themselves in difficult life situations. Feel free to offer them your help. Of course, in this case you will have to make more efforts, but you really can make someone's life a little better.

Where can I get old clothes for money

Sell-out

There is nothing wrong with selling some things that you almost (or not) wore. “Old” is a conditional name in this case. Almost in every wardrobe there are spontaneously purchased dresses, shoes and handbags that do not fit into the overall style at all. Take photos of particularly valuable copies and put them in the appropriate groups on social networks or on ad sites (for example, www.avito.ru, otdam-darom.livejournal.com).

Where else to hand over old clothes for money? Clothes and shoes of good quality can be sold at the garage sale, which is now quite a lot in every city. You can organize it yourself - invite your friends to have a party of a similar format, because everyone will find something they don’t use, so it’s easy to collect clothes!

Here you will not receive money directly, but for a package with unnecessary things You will be rewarded with a discount on the purchase of new ones. A good way to get rid of excess and fill up your wardrobe with new clothes at the same time.

People put their goods on the common table-counter by category: clothing, shoes, books, toys, household items. Everyone can pick up their own fancy new clothes.

Many people do not know how to solve such a question: Where to give things (clothes and other objects for life) that they have not used for a long time, and which could be very useful to another inhabitant of the planet Earth. Let's look at the question of the second life of things in more detail.

I suppose that soon special spaces will be created on earth, where any person can bring a thing that has retained all its properties, but is no longer needed by man. In this space, you can leave the thing, knowing that someone else sees it and gratefully takes it. And in this space there will be shelves with books, cabinets with clean, ironed clothes, household appliances and all other things that can be useful in life. And everyone, without shame, can go in there and, for example, pick up a book for himself to read, or take any other item he needs.

Unfortunately, there are no such spaces yet. Therefore, you can offer a structured list of places where help in your things is relevant. You can pass on your belongings to people in need. Having decided to give up your things, you need to clearly realize that people who accept things that you do not need have already done a good deed that they took your old objects of being. Therefore, thank them in advance for bringing everything to fit (washed and ironed - this applies to clothing).

Attention (!) If the clothes are in poor condition, if there are spots and holes on it, in no case do not try to give them to orphanages, hospitals and other similar institutions. By doing this, man is simple. And instead of throwing it in the trash, tearing it up with a rag or something like that, he tries to do a good deed in such an incorrect way. Believe me, there is little good! It’s better to use such a thing.

Where can you give good things?

1. Children's homes.

Orphanages, to the great joy, have now become well funded, this applies to almost all metropolitan boarding schools. But in the regions and villages, the situation is still far from perfect. To help children in orphanages, it is best to contact people who have been engaged in such assistance for a long time - these are various volunteer movements. They always know exactly what they need orphanages, which they supervise, and can tell you how you can help. In orphanages you can give good children's things (preferably new or in very good condition), items for creativity, office, hygiene items.

The volunteer club "Volunteer Club" has long been engaged in this activity in Moscow. You can transfer things to volunteers to collect help for orphanages, or even go to orphanages with the children themselves.

2. Nursing Homes

In nursing homes you can give things - clothes for adults, bedding, blankets, hygiene products. This is always true. And in order to make the residence of grandparents in state institutions more comfortable, so that the quality of their lives improves, they always need:

Clothing for adults in good condition. Especially we need warm clothes, bed linen, bathrobes, blankets, blankets, pillows.
   anti-decubitus mattresses
   wheelchairs
   walker
   disposable absorbent diapers
   oil heaters
   bedside tables and tables
   adult diapers
   bed-care products (protective creams, skin protectors, cleansing foam)
   televisions and radios
calendars, pictures on the walls, “little things for comfort” and just small gifts; individual gifts to grandparents
   functional medical beds

Many people go to nursing homes, if you want to pass things on to older people, you can do it yourself or through volunteers. For example, with the help of the volunteer organization starikam.ru

3. Children's hospitals

Many children and their parents are in hospitals for a year or more. Often there are situations when children go on treatment in the summer and stay for the winter. Visitors from a distance there are not enough ordinary household items or clothing.

Here is a list of things that are always needed in hospitals:

- household products (dishwashing liquid, sponges, paper towels, floor washing liquid)
- rolled towels, toilet paper
- Diapers of all sizes. The most running sizes: 4, 5, 6, 7 from any manufacturers and diapers for adults from Seni: Seni Super size 0 and 3;

- Rubber gloves;
- Garbage bags 50-60 liters;
