Let’s make the start of the year more meaningful by donating new or gently used clothes via The SM Store and SM Foundation’s Share Your Extras. Donations pooled this year will be for the benefit of communities impacted by Typhoon Odette.
Shoppers
can drop off their pre-loved clothes or purchase new ones for donation at any
of The SM Store branches from January 15 to February 15 in Metro Manila,
and February 1 to 28 at the rest of the branches nationwide.
For
every donated item, shoppers will receive a P100 discount coupon voucher
courtesy of The SM Store. This can be redeemed at their next single-receipt
purchase of a minimum of P1,000-worth of select items in-store or via Call To
Deliver.
What
are the DOs and DON’Ts?
· Donate
clothes in good condition.
The clothes should be gently used and in good, wearable condition, without
holes or damages.
· Donate practical clothes
only.
Remember that your donations will go to communities who have lost access to
basic needs. Please donate tops and bottoms for everyday wear that can be used
comfortably by infants or adults. Avoid donating suits, gowns, uniforms, and
costumes.
· Wash
the clothes first.
For the safety of the people handling and receiving your donations, clean the
clothes first and try to remove spots or stains. Skip donating used
undergarments and bathing suits.
· Check the pockets. Double and triple check to
make sure there are no valuables or pieces of trash, such as used tissue or
candy wrappers, left in the pockets.
Share
Your Extras is an annual initiative of The SM Store
and SM Foundation aimed at helping communities in need, such as those impacted
by calamities. In 2018, we provided personal hygiene items for families in
Marawi, and in 2020, we donated packed relief items for the communities in
Isabela impacted by Typhoon Ulysses. This year, Share Your Extras will benefit
families affected by Typhoon Odette, which has displaced millions of
individuals in Mimaropa, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Other The SM Store campaigns like Share
Shoes, Donate A Book, and Share A Toy have received overwhelming support from customers.

ways to donate, visit www.thesmstore.com and follow its social
media pages @thesmstore on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
