20 years ago a seed was sown. A fully functional clothes bank in Mangalore helped thousands of people who could not afford good clothes. Fast forward to Bangalore in 2021, history repeats but in a big way. Imagine Clothes Bank (let’s say 2.0) is born.
Yes,
Imagine Clothes Bank is a clothes showroom for the poor. Who doesn’t like
walking into a well decorated place and picking clothes of their choice? If you
and I enjoy this experience, why should the less-fortunate be deprived of this?
Pre-loved
and new clothes are made available to beneficiaries every Sunday at Electronics
City, Bangalore. The centre caters to the needs of close to over 150 families
every week.
At the
Imagine Clothes Bank, you will see love, respect, dignity and the right to
choose in action. In order to uphold the dignity of the beneficiaries, we charge
Re 1 per article of clothing. This money in turn is used to fund the
educational or medical needs of a family in need. Through this initiative, we
want to create a complete cycle, where not only do beneficiaries receive help
from Imagine but also contribute to a greater cause.
