Donating Items in Dubai
When decluttering and organizing your home, it can often be difficult to let go of things. Ask yourself if someone else could make use of the item. If the answer is yes, then it needs to go in the donate pile. Once you have the donate pile, where do you donate the items? This is where many people are unsure and often the donation pile doesn’t go anywhere quickly. Let me save you some time. Here are some of my top places to go to when donating items in Dubai.
Thrift for Good
This organization rehomes preloved items to reduce waste. Thrift for Good also helps children all around the world with the donations they receive. There are collection points or you can take your items directly to their shop on the Palm Jumeirah. Store location: Golden Mile Galleria Building 8, The Palm Jumeirah (Google Pin), hello@thriftforgood.org, +971 4 569 3086
Stop and Help
Stop and Help is a Kindness Exchange platform, which connects people in the UAE who are in need with those who are able to support them. Click on their website to register and you will be matched with a person or family who needs your items or services. The platform is very efficient and professional.
Preloved Nation
Preloved Nation is platform where you list items to donate or sell. It is a community for like-minded people to gift, sell, recycle, and create repurposing opportunities. They focus on living mindfully, paying it forward and being respectful to nature. Individuals are offered a sustainable way to move their unwanted well loved items.
TOYIT
TOYIT is an online platform where members can buy, sell, exchange, give away and/or directly donate to charity new and/or used kids’ items across categories. You can donate toys, books, clothes, furniture, gear, accessories or anything that is children related.
Facebook community groups
I find the local facebook community groups a quick way to connect with people who are donating items. Recently I connected with a woman donating items to an orphanage in Sierra Leone. I could take the items directly to her home to contribute to her donation. It was a quick and easy process and I felt connected to my community helping others.
