How it works (and other important information)
It can happen, due to all kinds of circumstances or events: there is no money left for clothes for yourself or for the children. Then, fortunately, there is the Kledingbank Eindhoven. Please read below what you have to do to make an appointment and pick out clothes at the Kledingbank Eindhoven. Contact a referrer from the Kledingbank. They assess whether you are entitled to a referral. Only with a referral you can make an appointment.

For the other days you can call during our opening hours on 040-2823750 to cancel and schedule a new appointment. Not canceling an appointment means that you are not allowed to come and find out for a year.
Due to the many appointments, it is not possible to exchange clothes. If you are unsure about your child’s size, bring a piece of clothing that now fits well: you can then compare it with the selected items of clothing.
How do I get a referral?
Referrers assess whether you are entitled to a referral. With a completed and signed referral you can call for an appointment. It takes a few weeks before you can pick out clothes.
At the Kledingbank there are lists on which exactly what you can take with you. Sometimes it happens that we have more or less clothing in a certain size. We depend on what is brought in with us. All clothes can be fitted. We don't exchange.
ReferralWhat happens to your donated clothing?
01
Dispensing
You can drop off your clothes at the 'blue doors'. You can return summer and winter clothing all year round. Most of it comes in bags and boxes: hundreds (!) per part of the day. Then the sorting begins.
02
Sorting
Upon entry, a global check is made to see whether the clothing is in good condition and for whom it is intended. Then it is checked again what the condition of the clothing is and everything is stored per species.
03
Storage
Above in our building we have the storage: we store all clothes by type, by size and by season (summer or winter).
04
Give away
We work in 2 seasons: from March to August we issue summer clothes. Our winter season runs from September to February. For each season, each customer must have a new referral.
