New Year is approaching and it's time to declutter your old, unused stuff at home to make way for something newer, fresher and better in 2019.
Facebook page Buddha Dham Nam Jai puts together 17 locations across the country where the donation of second-hand clothes is more than welcome. At these places, unused stuff will become valuable again as it will be sorted and distributed to the needy and impoverished, young and old.
Here are some of the places where clothes can be donated.
