You'll also be notified about the details of the recipient organization in Singapore, and the whole process is transparent and tech-driven - meaning you can track your donation from end to end. Besides clothes, they also accept shoes, bags, books, and more. For those who'd prefer not to opt for a clothing pick-up, you can also drop off your donations with them yourselves.
