Whether you’re in need of free clothing or would like to donate clothes to those in need, there are several options around Hamburg. At clothing centres, or ‘Kleiderkammern’ in German, donated clothes are sorted and prepared for their future owners. The clothes on offer have been donated at the centres themselves or at special containers throughout the city (website in German). Besides free clothing, the German Red Cross (website in German) also maintains a so-called ‘Kilo Store’, where clothing is sold by weight for a discounted price. The profits help fund the German Red Cross.
If you plan to donate clothing, keep in mind that the clothes should be in wearable condition. When in doubt, you can always contact the centres below to see if there’s a need for anything in particular.
