second-hand donations

Second-hand donations refer to gifts of used items—such as clothing, furniture, books, or electronics—that are given to charities or nonprofits. These donations help communities in need by providing essential goods, reducing waste, and supporting environmental sustainability. Instead of discarding items, donors pass them on, allowing others to reuse and benefit from them. Organizations often refurbish or distribute these goods to individuals or families who cannot afford new items, making second-hand donations an effective way to promote circular economy principles and social support.
