The BA of the month of March:the "vide-dressing week" for the benefit of the Red Cross

From March 18 to April 1, for the fourth year, independent fashion boutiques across France invite you to take part in a spring clothing collection operation for the benefit of the Red Cross. The user manual ? Simple! Sort through your cupboards, drop off what you want to donate at a participating store (list here) and? That's all ! The Red Cross will take care of redistributing them to those who need them... Come on, let's all go empty-dressing week!

3 steps:

Step 1:I take advantage of the arrival of Spring to do some sorting in my cupboards,

Step 2:from March 18 to April 1:I drop off the clothes I want to donate to the most disadvantaged in the participating store of my choice (list of participating stores to be found on the website www.vide-dressingweek.fr from mid-February 2015) ,

Step 3:from April 1:my shopkeeper gives the bags of clothing collected to the volunteers of the local units of the French Red Cross. My clothes will then go to the shelves of the association's changing rooms and clothing stores and will be redistributed to vulnerable people supported by the association.
