New Clothing Donation Bins

While there are plenty of vintage shops in Kyiv, donating old clothes sometimes stays a matter of thorough research rather than a simple deal. This month, Koshyk Dobra charity organization installed 20 clothing donation bins, mostly located on the left bank of Kyiv. Addresses of all locations are available on the map.

The most part of the clothing will be donated to foster and nursing homes. Clothes with poor quality will be recycled, while unique items will be auctioned with all profit going to support of kids and the elderly. In case you have more than 10 kg of clothes that can be donated, Koshyk Dobra can organize a pick-up.
