Hi everyone

My family have tons of clothes (pre-loved) which my mom wanted to throw away.
But I was thinking of donating the clothes to the needy ones (orphanage or poor people)
since most of the clothes is still in a good condition (and i'm too lazy to sell it online haha)
However I don't know where to find 'em (orphanage or needy ppl) and I hope someone can help me (preferable orphanage within kl -selangor area)
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi,

If you are in KL I suggest you drop your clothes at the Red Crescent Shop inside the Red Crescent HQ on Jalan Ampang. They take the clothes and resell them to raise funds for their activities. I've been doin it for some time now.

They also take everything else e.g. bags, shoes, books, electronic equipment (working ones) and other things as well. Should your items be too much for you to carry, they can arrange for a lorry for pickup.

What about donating the clothes to the homeless or needy ?

You can contact Kechara Soup Kitchen for this as they distribute food to the homeless and needy every weekend to Klang Valley areal.

Just email: ksk@kechara.com

The place is at Sunway Mas Commercial Center, near Aman Suria and the Kelana Jaya LRT station.

Here's the full address:
Lot 21-2, Jalan PJU 1/3G,
Sunwaymas Commercial Centre,
47301 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor, Malaysia.
Tel: +603 7880 0782
Fax : +603 7880 0832

i want to donate my clothes also...

hurm.. is there any charity house etc near to ampang?

I will suggest you to do some work before you just throw a few packets of clothes to any of the places.

Please separate the wearable or unwearable clothes, also separate and indicate there are those clothes suitable for adults or young children? Please ensure those are in clean condition, because they are not the maid to wash it off for you. At the same time, please check it out with the home tat you are going to send to. If you have a lot of young children clothes, you may send to orphanages, if mainly adult clothes, you may send to those HIV positive home, mental illness home or for the cancer centre.

I think it's easier for people to give you a guide by letting them know what sort of clothes that you have for donation. Because by that way, we can ensure you've sent it to the right place for the right people. Instead of leaving it at any of the home for personal convenient, which it might be extra work for the residents of the home.

Thank you!

i want to donate my clothes also...

In Cheras, you can try the Xim Phou Moon rep (not sure the spelling) at Cheras Leisure Mall, I've asked the auntie there before if they accept books & clothes, and she said they have a drop off point at the parking level. Not sure if they're still accepting though.

I went to India twice and what I can tell that poor people over there may appreciate used clothes more than here in malaysia but the cost to send there might be a lot. I hope there's an association who can handle this

Hi, i had some clothes i needed gone last week so i went to the red cresent in ampang, beside the korean embassy. to my horror, the building had been torn down! does anyone know where they moved to and do they still accept donation?
