About the volunteering opportunity
The Berlin Marathon will take place on Sunday, 09/29/2024. Before the race, the runners wear warm clothing. Until 2022, these were simply left in the starting area and disposed of. This is clothing that we urgently need to equip homeless people. Since the year before last, we have therefore been cooperating with Komm und Sieh gGmbH, the inclusion company of the Berlin City Mission, to rescue these clothes. We want to collect as much of this clothing as possible for our clothing store and return it to the textile cycle. We are now looking for lots of helping hands!
The inclusive company "Komm & Sieh" runs four second-hand neighbourhood stores, the TEXTILHAFEN with material pool, the upcycling label WaterToWine, the Re-Use Centre in the House of Materialization, the logistics kitchen and helps with professional apartment clearances.
