~Introducing charity & tech culture from around the world~
Well, it's that special charitable time half-way between the actual New Year and the Lunar New Year... what will you do to make a difference in someone's life this year?
Ever thought about giving away your old clothes & shoes to a reliable charity in China?
Maybe you've thought about it, but had no idea how!?
You probably know where we're going with this: the answer can be found right in Wechat yet again!
Yes, just like we can do literally everything else on this wonderful app, like reserving movie tickets, buying flowers, and sending packages with SF; we can also schedule a clothes donation/recycling pickup right to your door.
And the best part of all, it's absolutely free... why not give it a try? They come right to your door, take your donation, and you don't need to worry about it ever again.
They accept any and all clothing items, shoes, and bags, in any condition. The good stuff will go to charity and the not-so-good stuff will be kindly recycled.
So easy, anyone can do it~ But let us know if you have any problems, we are happy to help!

Don't forget to save it!
5. Choose the
pickup date
It says 预约时间 "Pickup Time" but really you just need to choose the day... we recommend a date where you know for certain someone will be home all day!
(The delivery guy will call your given contact number that morning and you will decide the best time together...)
6. Select approximate
donation weight
Duh, they need an approximate estimate for how many clothes you're donating!
Feel free to guess or use an electric scale or if you're a travel pro - a luggage scale...
Really, they just want a general idea. Select one:
7. Submit pickup
form
Finally, after all of your correct information is entered, submit your form~
Wait for the Success checkmark... and you're good to go!
8. Get your
donations ready
Don't just give them a pile of dirty clothes. Be kind, wash everything, and put them all nicely in a plastic bag or box and wait for pickup!
Once you send off your donation, take a moment to cherish your newfound closet space and think about the nice strangers you are helping~
