The clothing collection service operates under the name "Salvatoriaanse Ontwikkelingshulp vzw". It has 6 lorries which each day collect second-hand clothing (clothes containers and door-to-door) in Belgium and the Netherlands.

We have clothing containers in position in the Belgian province of Limburg and in the Dutch provinces Limburg and North-Brabant. These containers are usually in public places (near a large supermarket, near the church, the town hall, a civic amenity site, etc.)

The profits from the clothing containers go to the local missionary committees proportionate to the quantity of clothing we collect in their parish. In the Netherlands there is also co-operation with also another institution, working for a good cause: SMHO (Stichting Medische Hulp voor Oost-Europa).

A condition for receiving the benefits is that the money is spent according to the objectives of the Salvatorian Relief Action. We also request a financial report each year for control purposes. (We give no money to individuals, only to missionary committees, parishes, non-profit associations and institutions.)

We are among the few recognised organisations, not to be compared with commercial establishments or non-bona fide organisations. Accordingly, most cities and municipalities give us permission to organise a collection service.
