Where to: Donate Clothes in Berlin
Unfortunately, my clothing donation drive "Warm Up" will take a break this year due to ... you know why. I am very sad about this, it would've been no. 7, we would have collected a lot, and the organizations are already missing out on a lot of donations this year. And it was always a super fun event to get together and see everyone before we disperse for the holidays... However, you can still donate your unworn winter warmers! Here's a list of local places looking for donations. Some of them will distribute them for free to people in need, while others will sell them in their shops for a little money, which they use to keep up their charity work. None of these are for-profit or sell their clothes in other countries, etc., etc. I have also added some free shops, where everything is given away to anyone for free. As always, only donate clean & intact clothing, only bring what the organizations ask for (most times it's seasonal items since few of them have storage space & men's clothing is always in higher demand than women's), and don't dump your donations in front of closed doors. Especially now during the lockdown, it's best to call/email before donating to find out how and what to donate.
