Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens to the clothes you donate to Islamic Relief?
1. What happens to the clothes you donate to Islamic Relief?
The clothes you donate to Islamic Relief are brought back to our Glasgow store where bags are opened and all items individually sorted.
During emergencies and disasters such as the Tsunami and Asia Earthquake we would sort items that are required and send them to the affected areas. During rest of the times we sell the donated clothes and shoes in our charity shops, bazaars or abroad to raise funds for projects run by Islamic Relief. In 2007 from the clothes you donated we raise $500,000 for projects in the third world.
As part of the government initiative to recycle more, we would urge you to tell your family and friends to donate there unwanted clothing and shoes to Islamic Relief. This way we can avoid expensive landfills, help the environment and help the poor and needy.
Please use the Islamic Relief clothes banks (Edinburgh , stirling,dundee and Lanarkshire only) to donate your clothing, but please make sure to put you bag(s) in the bank and not to leave them outside, as they become a hazard , and often bags are ripped and stolen by trespassers and mess left all over mosque car parks.
If you live in an area where there are no textile banks you can still help by arranging a collection of 100+ bags, (more the better) and then call us to arrange collection.
PLEASE HELP US !
We are always on the lookout for new sites for our textile banks. If you know of a mosque, community centre, school or a supermarket that could help us by allowing us to put a textile bank on their premises please contact us, so we can to raise more money for the poor & the needy by donating our unwanted clothes.
