  2. CHARITY IN SINGAPORE: WHERE TO DONATE USED FURNITURE, CLOTHES, TOYS AND BOOKS Sources from: http://www.honeykidsasia.com/singapore/mums-cat/charity-singapore-donation/ Make a difference by giving back to society. Passing on your gently used goods to charity is a great way to improve the lives of others while minimising waste Have you been thinking about donating some of your clothes, household goods and toys to somebody more in need? The old adage, ‘it’s better to give than to receive, could not be more relevant here in Singapore where many of us have more than we need. Truthfully, all the shoes (even Louboutins!) or Pinterest-worthyhouse interiors couldn’t put as big a smile on our face as helping a child or family by giving to charity orvolunteering with your kids. If you don’t have extra time to dedicate to helping the charity of your choice, donating your pre-loved (and gently used) items is a great way to give back while minimising wastage.

Simply drop them off at the nearest outlet – and you’ll receive a $5 voucher off your next purchase! H&M, various locations; www.hm.com/sg/garment-collecting. Tips for donating to charity Donate meaningfully. Understand the charity’s mission and items most needed by recipients of donations. For example, victims of a natural disaster may require blankets, torch lights, sweaters or canned food, while charities working towards building schools will require furniture or stationery. Donate appropriately. Before you give your things away, consider whether you’d purchase them at a second-hand store. Check items for wear and tear and make sure they’re still in usable or good condition. Otherwise, the donation centre may have to throw them away, and the cost of disposing of masses of donated goods that cannot be used is a serious financial burden faced by many charities. Donate efficiently. Help make the volunteers’ jobs a lot easier by taking a few extra minutes to organise and pack things in groups that go together.
