Attention to those who would like to donate and share things!
At this event, participants can bring in appropriate unwanted things to donate, and then browse and take home items donated by others.
Memo for the participants:
- bring clean and gently used items
- bring items according to the selected categories (kitchen stuff, electronics, study, leisure time stuff, household items)
We won’t collect and keep: food, medicine, clothes, footwear, bedding. BUT: you can bring clothes, footwear, and bedding into the box in the lobby, and we will donate them to Caritas!
We definitely will have some items left over. Depending on the situation, we will either donate them to the homeless people via Caritas (clothes, footwear, bedding) or store them for another “Sharing is Caring” event and future students’ needs (kitchen stuff, electronics, study, leisure time stuff, household items).
See you!
