About the Event
The mountainous areas can be surprisingly cold from November to January. Temperatures can drop down to close to the freezing point. This can prove especially tough for those unable to afford proper clothing.
What we need:
• Warm coats, jackets
• Pullovers / sweatshirts / cardigans
• Long-sleeve shirts and T-shirts
• Long pants, leggings, and jeans
• Scarves
• Caps
• Gloves
• Socks (for school too) / warm tights
• Closed-toe shoes and sneakers; formal school shoes
• Blankets
If your kids have outgrown their winter clothes, then you can take them to one of the donations drop-off points in Chiang Mai between October 15 – December 1, 2022.
Donations drop-off points
• Rimping - Meechok Plaza / Nawarat Bridge / Nim City / Mae Hia / Kad Farang / Maya
• Chiang Mai International School (CMIS)
• Unity Concord International School (UCIS)
• Lanna International School (LIST) – Airport & North Hill
• Chiang Mai University Demonstration School (Satit CMU)
• Makro Hang Dong
• Makro Superhighway
• HomePro Hang Dong
• HomePro Sansai @ Rimping
Because of ongoing COVID-19 concerns, we would like to place an increased emphasis on cleanliness this year. We would like to ask you to wash the clothes if necessary and pack them in plastic bags before dropping them off. Always use a hand sanitizer before and after drop-offs.
If you are returning to Chiang Mai from overseas, we would greatly appreciate it if you brought some winter clothes back with you. Do not forget to ask your friends to donate too. These winter items will make a massive difference to vulnerable people.
Please note that we are unable to do individual collections. If you wish to donate, you can do so at one of the many drop-off locations conveniently spread throughout the town. If you do not have your own transportation, we would like to recommend using a ride-hail service like Grab or Bolt.
We hope that together with the generous help of yours and our volunteers, we will be able to help those in desperate need of warmth. For more information on this project, visit www.cmirotary.org/winter-clothing-school-supplies-app
