Kledingbank Eindhoven

Founded in 2009, Kledingbank Eindhoven is a charity based in Eindhoven, Netherlands working on poverty & hunger.

Kledingbank Eindhoven is a non-profit clothing bank run by volunteers in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. It helps people who cannot afford clothing, including families with children, by providing free clothing to people who have a referral from a referrer such as a social worker or debt counsellor. Donated clothing is collected, checked, sorted and stored by type, size and season, and then made available in the shop, where clients select items during scheduled appointments. Appointments are made by phone during opening hours, and clients must renew their referral each season. Children aged 13 and over may accompany parents, and parents select clothing for younger children. The organisation was founded in 2009 and is operated by the Stichting Kledingbank Eindhoven, with a board of four members and a paid coordinator; the rest of the work is carried out by more than 100 volunteers according to the site. Its income comes from donations and sponsors, and it receives a contribution towards rent from the municipality of Eindhoven. The organisation holds ANBI status, so donations can be tax-deductible. Surplus clothing that cannot be used is passed to the Leger des Heils for reuse or recycling. The site announced a temporary halt to clothing intake from private donors from 7 June 2026 because of full warehouses and volunteer capacity pressures. Opening hours are Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Wednesday afternoon, and the first Saturday morning of the month.
