No. All parcels are unpacked and the goods sorted. The items are then distributed by the Red Cross cantonal associations to people living in poverty throughout Switzerland. This helps us ensure that the donated goods are in perfect condition. It also means that we can distribute the goods appropriately. For example, baby products and women’s hygiene products only go to households that actually need them.
You can organize a collection among your staff and customers on behalf of the campaign. Contact us for more information. We are happy to advise you.
Articles donated to the 2 x Christmas campaign will be distributed through the SRC cantonal associations. Please contact your local cantonal association directly if you have any questions about how they are distributed in your area.
