Monmichel Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi all Would anyone know of a charity in Bangkok where I can donate clothes and knickknacks - one like the St Vincent's De Paul organisation abroad? I'm doing a big clean up and have clothes, shoes, magazines, books, decorative items like ceramics to give away - all in good condition, items that I would feel bad throwing away. Very grateful for any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Suggest you contact these folks down Klong Toey way. If you have a bunch of stuff, they'll even send a truck or a pickup to collect. Great organization, doing useful work. http://www.mercycentre.org/ Mac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) ... or there is an Aussie based organisation called Second Chance. A traditional Australian op-shop is funding school holiday activities for children in one of the poorest slums in Thailand's capital. Second Chance sells mostly second hand goods from expats to pay for various sport and art activities in the notorious slum of Klong Toey. It's now developing a so called "upcycling" program in which Thai women in need of an income make old clothes into new items - many of which are then sold back to foreign residents. Short news clip showing the shop in action ... http://www.abc.net.a...k-slums/3767572 Contact Information Second Chance Bangkok 99/101 Ardnarong Rd.

Spaniel Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 You can actually donate to the St. Vincent's De Paul society here in Bangkok. Contact Holy Redeemer Church in Bangkok. Check out their website: www.holyredeemerbangkok.com or give them a call: 02 256-6157, 02 256-6422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wana Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) i dont know if they are honest or not but i know buddhist temples will take anything you dont need and wish to donate im not sure how the distribution is organised but they take everything from cash to unwanted cats and dogs and everything in between (and there is a temple on every corner in bkk so its convenient too ) edit : someones just told me that cothes and stuff left at temples is really given to the poor people Edited March 18, 2012 by wana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
