Drop-in Collection Event

Sunday, 23rd February @ 10:30 am - 2:30 pm

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Please support our Drop-in collection event at Mosaic. The list below includes a range of toiletry items which will be distributed to people in dire need.  Click on “more” to read the list.

Alternatively (or additionally in support of “Labels for Good”) we will be delighted to accept high end designer clothing, shoes or accessories in good pre-loved or brand new condition. These will be sold through the Goods for Good  eBay store and Vinted store to generate vital funds to support their work.  Your generous contributions will help to make a difference to the lives of those facing hardship.  Thank you for helping MJC to make an impact through “Goods for Good”..

TEA, INFORMATION  AND CHAT
When you drop in and help with the sorting of items on 23rd February, we will have films running about the work of the charity, its ‘kind network’ and representatives of the charity will be on site.  There will be light refreshments available.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS IMPACT
In the UK hygiene poverty affects over 4.2 million people. 
Heating your home and feeding your children become the priorities. Toothpaste and other ‘essential’ toiletry items become unaffordable luxuries.  (In Brent, 46% of five-year-olds have tooth decay, a higher percentage than those living in any other English local authority).

THE WORK OF GOODS FOR GOOD.
Goods for Good, work to alleviate the effects of those in dire need offering hope, comfort and care.  In the UK donated items are distributed through the ‘kind network’ made up of 80 charity partners (a third of which are in Hertfordshire)

The mission at Goods for Good goes beyond the redistribution of goods; it’s about restoring dignity and hope. The essentials they provide — items that many take for granted — are often the lifeline that helps people move forward.
