Giveforsociety Foundation

Our space is in Flat B08-0302 over at Tulip Violet in Sector 69. It’s a residential area, so it’s pretty quiet most of the time except when we are moving boxes around. Gurgaon is a big, fast city, and it’s easy to feel like you’re just one person who can’t do much. We started this because we wanted to change that feeling for ourselves and our neighbors. It’s mostly just a few of us using our spare time to gather things people don't need anymore and find a better home for them. We have piles of clothes and old books stacked up in the corners sometimes. It’s not a showroom. It’s a working space where we sort through what comes in. Sometimes we have to tell people we can't take certain items because we just don't have the room. It’s a bit of a juggle managing the space in an apartment. We don't have a fleet of trucks or a warehouse. We just use our own cars or hire a local rickshaw when we need to move stuff. People in the building know us as the ones always carrying bags to the elevator. It’s just a simple way to try and give back to the society we live in. We don't have fancy brochures or a PR person. We just talk to people face to face. It’s more personal that way, and we prefer it.
