We arrange donations in kind.
We help people in material need and strengthen social work. At the same time, we save things from premature disposal and thus protect resources. Since May 2023 we saved 637.205 kg CO2!

With our donation mediation, we make a contribution to climate protection. Passing on things instead of disposing of them and purchasing new ones saves CO2. We have been able to save since May 2023:
637.205 kg CO2
This is equivalent to the emissions of 3.580 flights from Hamburg to Paris or the production of 17.700 kg of beef.
