Loiduts Charity Shop -Help others with second-hand goods-

The “charity shop” has its origin as a social contribution store in the UK. This is to raise funds by collecting unnecessary clothes from people and sell them in stores, to solve social issues. A charity shop will take place as an art project at CPK Gallery in Taito City with the aim to make it a part of the culture of the city. The collected money will be donated to “Maggie’s tokyo”, a foundation that supports cancer patients and their families. This project involves repeated interaction with those who join, and will build a structure for volunteers to participate and operate its system.
