Pre-loved Goods Donation Day - Saturday 28 November

From: AustChamKorea.org | Nov. 26, 2009

Mark your calendars and start cleaning out those closets!

AustCham and the Salvation Army Korea are joining forces to organize a collection of pre-loved clothing and household items in the Seoul area.

AustCham members, colleagues and friends are invited to contribute to our group donation of pre-loved clothing and household goods for the Salvation Army. The Salvo’s will then distribute them to needy families or sell them in their thrift stores throughout Korea.

What can I donate?

> Pre-loved clothing and shoes

> Toys

> Books (any language) and CD’s

> Kitchenware

> Linens and bedding (except curtains)

> Household items

> Non-perishable foods e.g. tinned or packaged items

Note: Large items of furniture (e.g. couches and tables) can be collected from your home by arrangement. Contact AustCham for details. Beds cannot be re-sold in Korea

Where do I take my stuff?

For your convenience, there will be two drop-off points in Seoul at the homes of AustCham Board Members:

> Point A: Itaewon (near the Grand Hyatt)

Ben Way’s home will be open between 10:00am ~ 12:30pm
