In addition
to most of the other Salvation Armies throughout the Netherlands, the chapter in
Hilversum has a Second-hand clothing store as well. We sell quality
clothing that were donated to us at reasonable prices in this shop. There
are clothing collections held once a year, sometimes more depending on which
municipality the Salvation Army is located in.
This collected clothing is brought to a central collection point where they are
sorted out. A part of the collection is used solely for assisting those in
need. The department of destination goods
(a division of the Salvation Army whose primary goal is to relocate older items
to a new location) is responsible for sending the remaining part of the
collection to various Chapter Clothing Shops. Finally these shops sell the
clothes to the public. The extra unneeded clothing
is then sent to recycling companies.
The turnover from this collection greatly helps unsubsudized projects throughout
the Netherlands and in foreign countries as well. |
