NGO inaugurates pre-owned, free cloth store at CMCH for in-patients
COIMBATORE: Anbin Aadai, a pre-owned clothing store, has been opened by Helping Hearts, a non-profit organization, at the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital (CMCH) premises, where inpatients can receive clothes free of charge. The store, located near the centenary building block, was inaugurated on Friday by Dean A. Nirmala, along with Vidhya Senthilkumar, MD of Propel Industries, which sponsored the store, and M. Ganesh, founder of Helping Hearts, which will manage the facility.
“The store will mainly benefit accident victims and the destitute. They can receive clothes by showing their admission details,” said Ganesh.
Used clothes collected from the public are subjected to quality checks at the AUMM Clothes Foundation in Krishnagiri district. After sorting out the usable items, workers repair any broken buttons or zippers. The clothes are then washed, ironed, and packed according to size.
