GiveBackBox

United States / Chicago

Use the many packages generated by online sales to make it a solidarity tool for the homeless {Translated by Google}

In 2012, Monica Wiela, who at the time runs an online sales site, meets a homeless person in the street who asks for shoes. She returns, a few days later, with shoes, but he is no longer there. She began to look for a solution to encourage donations of clothing to homeless people. She has the idea to offer people to reuse their empty packages from e-commerce orders by returning them, filled with objects they no longer need, with solidarity organizations. All for free thanks to a coupon dedicated to this purpose. {Translated by Google}
