The Charity Shop performs an equally important function: profits from clothing sales are channeled charitable foundation"Second wind", where programs for the employment of people from socially vulnerable groups are implemented. In addition, part of the profits is donated to the Vverkh Equal Opportunity Center, which helps graduates of orphanages and correctional boarding schools to get an education.

"Shop of Joy"
"Lavka Joy" is the first Russian charitable store, which opened in 2012 thanks to Katya Bermant, director of the organizations "Vse Vmeste" and "Children's Hearts". Project volunteers affectionately call the store a shop and accept absolutely any thing - from vintage items and souvenirs to ordinary new and not so clothes (but the ones that are sold will definitely be in good condition, as they are selected before entering the store). But things that have served their time are still taken in order to be sent for processing or to a dog shelter for pet bedding.
There are no fixed prices and cash desks in the Joy Shop. The coordinator helps each buyer decide on a donation, which he lowers into a sealed box. You can also install a do-box in your office, in which all employees can bring unnecessary things on their way to workplace. All funds raised from the sale of items go to the account of the All Together charity organization. According to the volunteers, it is still not worth bringing books (there is nowhere to put them) and large interior items. It is worth trying to find more unnecessary toys, clothes, bags and accessories.

"Dump "

In order for the service to help turn unnecessary junk into good, you must leave a request, agree on a time and wait for the on-site team at the appointed time. Project staff pick up any items, except for those that are already considered garbage. They accept gifts of clothes, books, toys, old and broken household appliances, crockery and furniture.
As a bonus for frugality, the former owners will be paid a small bonus. Then things are sorted out in a warehouse, dishes are washed, clothes are sorted and disinfected by quartz treatment, shoes are cleaned, appliances (if possible) are repaired, and books are sorted into categories. At the same time, they separate and hand over what is not suitable for sale for recycling, or dispose of it with the help of the “Defigurement” project. Further, the items “Dump” are sold in the proper form at a flea market.
At the disposal of buyers - a large shopping room, where a flea market is open every day from 12:00 to 21:00. Here, 90% of things can be bought for less than 500 rubles. The project also has an online store that sells the most interesting items available. Among other things, "Svalka" cooperates with wholesale buyers, flea markets, enterprises for the processing of old clothes, waste paper, scrap metal and household waste. And 70% of the proceeds are transferred to Dobro Mail.Ru.
