2025 at the Clothing Bank: Thank you for helping to change lives

For the Clothing Bank, 2025 was a year of solidarity, cooperation, and tremendous human support. Thanks to all of you—donors, volunteers, companies, and partner organizations—we have achieved something we can all be proud of.

Over the course of the year, we collected an incredible 94,182 kilograms of clothing. We checked every single item of clothing, because we take great care to ensure the quality of the contents of our emergency packages.

And what was the structure of our main customers?

With the support of our partner organizations, in 2025 we were able to distribute emergency packages where they were really needed:

• 6% of clothing went to individual applicants
• 50% was handed over to cooperating non-profit and social organizations
• 44% of clothing was provided to food banks

Thanks to this assistance, people in need were able to receive not only basic material support, but also a sense of dignity, security, and hope.

Cooperation that made it possible

We greatly appreciate our long-term cooperation with organizations such as Handikep Centrum Srdce Poděbrady, Dobré místo, food banks in Ústí nad Labem, Džbánsko, Olomouc, Central, and Karlovy Vary, the Center for Social and Health Services in Příbram, the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital, Otevřené dveře Knížkovice, and many others. Thanks to them, help gets exactly where it makes the most sense.

We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to JTI for their long-term support—without it, we would not be able to operate and help so many people. Your trust and cooperation mean a great deal to us, and we appreciate it wholeheartedly.

Volunteer days and corporate support

A huge thank you also goes to the companies that supported us in 2025 through volunteer days. Companies such as AMAZON, ARVAL, BNP Paribas Cardif, Česká spořitelna, TV Nova, Amundi, and others sent their employees, who did not hesitate to devote their time and energy to helping others.

Their involvement is crucial to our daily operations—not only in practical terms, but also on a human level. It gives us the strength to keep going.

Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the Clothing Bank in 2025 – whether with clothing, finances, their time, or their trust. Every form of help counts, and each has a real impact on the lives of people who find themselves in difficult situations.

We believe that 2026 will be even stronger. That together we can help even more people.

Thank you for being part of the Clothing Bank. Thank you for helping. 🤍
