Your unwanted clothes and toys: please donate!

Hello there,

After Christmas or when you are about to move are usually great times to de clutter and donate your un-wanted items. You may longer want them or find them useful but believe me there are people living in Malaysia who would be really grateful for all the things you are throwing away.

To donate your items there are several options:

1.
If you have children, you can always ask their school if they accept donations. Many schools are affiliated with Charities and they can make sure your stuff gets to the people in need.

2.
There are orange collection boxes dotted around KL, you can simply leave your items in one of these.
More info on the company running these on this link:
CRC Box

3.
Several charities will gladly take your donations, here is a list of some:

KL Krash Pad- Chowkit- Children and Teenagers
Chow Kit Kita

If you are an expat you can contact your association and ask them for their advice on who to donate your items too.
The British women's association for example covers quite a few charities.
