How, what and why you should give your belongings a second chance at life.
WHO ARE WE?
The Singapore Red Cross Shops sell a wide variety of brand new and pre-loved products inclusive of fashion apparel, gadgets, snacks, cosmetics and much more. All proceeds from the sales will be channeled directly towards our local humanitarian services:
Thanks to the unwavering support from all donors and volunteers, the Singapore Red Cross can deliver aid and bring hope to the most vulnerable — seniors and persons with disabilities who live on their own, children and families-in-need. Your quality donations and contributions enable us to continue providing much-needed support for underserved and vulnerable communities in our midst. Thank you so much for your generosity.
WHAT CAN YOU DONATE?
Here are some guidelines to help you decide what you can donate. In general, we accept items which are fit to be offered for sale.
Fashion items - We welcome clothes, bags, shoes and accessories of all shapes, ages, sizes, styles and brands. While branded items would definitely be easier to sell, as long as donations are clean, undamaged and in good, sellable condition, we graciously accept them. We also don’t accept undergarments unless brand new and unopened.
Toys - Toys in good condition for all ages are accepted! We also welcome board games, puzzles and the like. Do consider hygiene concerns when donating items like soft toys and make sure all donations would be appreciated by a potential buyer!
Kitchenware - Cookware, utensils and crockery are all accepted, although we would prefer donations that are as close to new in condition as possible due to safety and hygiene reasons.
Electronics - We accept all kinds of electronics and gadgets, from phones, tablets, and readers to headphones and earbuds, cameras and laptops, and related accessories. They should be in working condition and, if applicable, be reset to factory settings. We don’t accept large appliances.
Toiletries & Cosmetics - We only accept toiletries and cosmetics that are brand new and unopened, preferably in original packaging.
Non-perishable food items - Food items that are unopened and packaged, with clear expiry dates indicated on the packaging with a remaining shelf life of at least a month after the date of donation are welcome. Please avoid donating food that requires specific storage conditions.
Home decor - We accept all kinds of home decor as long as they aren’t too bulky and are in good, sellable condition.
Bulky items and whitegoods - Unfortunately, we don’t have the space to accept bulky donations like large furniture pieces or whitegoods.
Know that just by reading and adhering to these guidelines before donating you’d be helping us out tremendously, as we would be able to allocate less resources to sifting out unusable items.
WHAT WE DON’T ACCEPT
Generally, we don’t accept religious, offensive or potentially dangerous items (such as knives, flammable gas canisters etc.). We also don’t accept alcoholic items, tobacco, drugs or medication, nor any other contraband or illegal items. Do also make sure that your donations are clean, usable and in otherwise sellable condition.
WHERE TO DONATE?
You can drop off your donations at 62 Jalan Khairuddin, any day of the week between 10am and 3pm, or contact us at shop@redcross.sg if you have any questions. Do note that we do not schedule pickups or in-person collections for donations. Please donate responsibly — do not place donations haphazardly or in unsheltered areas.
Thank you!
