The German Clothing Foundation collects, sorts and distributes used and new clothing. We use the clothing donations and the proceeds from recycling to support clothing stores and social projects at home and abroad. In this way, we help people to live in warmth and dignity.
The German Clothing Foundation collects and distributes clothing in good condition. Clothing and shoe donations are sorted in Helmstedt (Lower Saxony). The sorted goods are sent as aid shipments to cooperation partners in Germany, Europe and overseas. We also provide financial support for people in need and in particularly shameful situations.
Charity stores have the power to create a positive ripple effect. By supporting these stores, you are not only contributing to a more sustainable fashion ecosystem, but also championing important causes. Every purchase and every donation becomes a step towards change, transforming fashion into a force for good.

Even as a teenager in the GDR, I had my very own, unmistakable style of dress: second-hand couture instead of a uniform look. My credo when it came to style throughout my life. Out of necessity back then. Out of joy and conviction today.

I like it when high-quality textiles are reused. If you donate to the Kleiderstiftung, you protect the environment and share great clothes with other women. I am against disposable fashion. That's why I do both: donate and buy second-hand at Zweimalschön.
