The Social Cupboard or Clothing Bank project aims to mobilize the whole community to contribute to the improvement of the lives of vulnerable people, and to the development of solidarity and the preservation of the environment by collecting and reusing clothes and other useful goods. This is the first project of public collection of goods implemented in Moldova, with the aim of creating a local mechanism of social solidarity. Since its launch in 2016, various collection points have collected 288 tons of goods, redistributed to the most socially vulnerable people, across 37 Moldovan localities.
