HOPE BANK
Most of us have many used things not in use, may be books, shoes, clothes, furniture, etc., The things we throw can bring a glow in someone’s life. Hence this unit was started in the year 1999 with a principle “Pick up from Peter and pass it on to Paul”.
Hope Bank Drums are kept in various schools, colleges, etc. The Drums are kept with an intention of collecting used/new clothes, books, toys and any other materials that are donated by people for redistributing them among the needy, during free medical camps also conducted regularly and on any other suitable occasion.
After the placement of the Drums at any given location the complete details of the same will be recorded. Once the Drums are full, the information will be passed. Sweekaar will collect the articles from the location and these are distributed to poor & needy during disability detection camps.
