ItsRainingRaincoats Seeks Donations Of New Or Pre-Loved Items For Migrant Workers

After a round of spring cleaning for Chinese New Year (CNY), everyone will surely have lots of items they don’t want anymore.

Instead of throwing your old stuff away, consider donating your pre-loved items to a local welfare organisation—ItsRainingRaincoats. According to a Facebook post, they will be accepting donations of any items that are in good condition from 10 Feb to 28 Feb.

Get into the spirit of CNY by being generous to our less fortunate migrant workers.

ItsRainingRaincoats seeking pre-loved items

ItsRainingRaincoats is an initiative by kind Singaporeans to “spread kindness to migrant workers” in the country.

They’ve embarked on various projects, with regular ones on festive occasions, which is why the upcoming CNY is the perfect timing.

This time around, they’ll be collecting new or pre-loved items to share with migrant workers. Anyone keen on contributing can donate items that are in good condition.

Here is a list of items that you can donate:

  • Good quality men’s clothes and shoes
  • Unopened toiletries
  • Umbrellas
  • Backpacks
  • Water bottles
  • Raincoats
  • Sunglasses
  • Belts
  • Power banks
  • Laptops
  • Phones
  • Headphones
  • Bedsheets
  • Yoga mats
  • Luggage
  • Wallets

We bet many households stock up on CNY snacks and treats for friends and family. If you have any extra treats that you don’t wish to eat, you may donate them too.
