Purging your closet may be perched atop your list of things to do as 2019 opens, so why not lend a helping hand and so the big cleanup? Here's where to begin: we've rounded up four noble-hearted charities that'll give new purpose to the clothes you no longer use.
H&M Foundation
Life's a cycle of give and take, something the H&M F oundation stands by. Get a 15% discount voucher for every bag of clothes you leave at any of their participating branches! For every kilo of threads you donate, H&M will also give €0.02 (P1) to a local charity.
Goodwill Industries of the Philippines
Here's how it works: Goodwill resells your donated clothing, and the proceeds go towards the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities (PWDs) and the disadvantaged through skill empowerment. You can donate everything from old clothes to old appliances, and schedule a pick up by calling ahead at tel. no. (02) 837 3094.
