Donate

At freshStart, we depend completely on donations, be it new or pre-loved goods, time, creativity, or money.

freshStart is manned by unpaid volunteers and has only minimal, mandatory overheads. We are registered as a not-for-profit company, so cash donations are tax-deductible in South Africa.

All financial and item donations go to ensure that the Smutsville Recycle SwopShop is sustainable and always has items on offer that are needed by the children (toiletries, stationery, clothing, shoes and blankets) as well as aspirational items (toys, soccer balls, netballs, skateboards and dolls) and weekly fruit.

In 2018, we traded more than 18 000 items, that’s 590 per week!
