Donate Wedding Clothes and Help the Poor

Mangaluru: The Zawaj Charitable Trust, an organization of Muslim youngsters has started a novel campaign of collecting wedding clothesfrom recently married couples to help the poor. It is quite common for couples to store away wedding clothes and not use them after a few months or a year. Considering this, the trust decided to place clothes collection boxes at mosques, shopping malls and other places in and around Mangaluru. Though the main aim is to inspire newly wedded couples to donate, the Trust also pleads with others to donate clothes for the poor. Trust convener, Sameeruddin Padubettu said, “We’ll also collect used clothes from donors directly and distribute them among the poor and needy.” Donors may contact 9686584868 or 9164435578 to hand over clothes to the Trust.
