Charities wanting secondhand clothes,furniture,kitchen appliances etc.
I am about to leave Beijing, and since i've been living here over two years I have a number of things not worth me sending home, but things i do not wish to simply thrown away. I also dont have a car, so would need the heavier things to be picked up. Anyone know who i should call, charities etc. Also, does anyone know of any clothes collections going on for the homeless over the winter months?
thanks!

oooh i need this too. Tis the season and all and I've got lots of stuff that probably isn't worth selling but also too nice for a landfill.

www.thedonationcenter.org. Just checked their site and at the moment they don't accept any clothes donations but they do need other things.
Information from a friend:

Mr. Justin Fong at the donation center has kindly been helping me out with donations. His email is jfong@thedonationcenter.org
And here are some suggestions from a great user Freakyqi:
And if you want to do more, there is a charity event at the end of this month. Nov. 29th.

See our event page later.

What furniture do you have? I need some cabinets
The above saying doesn't represent my opinion...
