When we deposit a couple of shoes, a coat or some pants in any of the 60 containers for collecting clothing, footwear and toys that the Abraham Project Association has distributed throughout the city -1.200 throughout the region- we not only contribute to those garments can be used by people with limited resources.At the same time we are contributing our grain of sand so that this non -profit association continues to give training courses and generate jobs between people who are at risk or in a situation of social exclusion.

To make visible its work, the Project Man Association is making an open doors that will continue tomorrow Friday on the ship that this association has at the Camposol Polygon of Puente Tocinos. «Pero cualquier persona puede venir de lunes a viernes, de 7 de la mañana a 3 de la tarde y será bien recibida», explicaJuan Antonio Conesa, portavoz de la asociación.

The first work that is carried out in the installation of Tocinos bridge is to separate and classify clothes.Socks, socks and used underwear, even if it gets clean, is discarded.Only if they are brand new - they will be with their label or simply note - they will be delivered to people who need it.The garments that are in good condition are referred to the closet or the two stores that project Abraham keeps open to the public in Puerta Tocinos -Calle Deli.The difference is that the clothes of the stores are sold and the proceeds serves to maintain the association and to co -finance its projects.And in the Regional Rope, which the Association manages in collaboration with the General Directorate of Family and Equal Opportunities, the garments are delivered free to people with economic needs that are derived by the Social Services teams.

In the case of the wardrobe, the different garments hang from hangers as if it were a store."We do not force you to take something they don't like or that they don't look good," they indicate.

Clothing, shoes and toys arrive at the Tocinos bridge ship thanks to the team of 12 or 14 people who collect the garments in the containers of the municipality.Project man gave a job in 2016 to a workforce of 37 people through the collection of used clothing, footwear and toys in forty municipalities in the region, with which it has signed agreements.

Garments that are not reusable are taken to recycling or landfill industries.Another part of the clothes is used in the workshops and courses on sewing and repair, transforming into new garments.They also serve for dozens of people to obtain training in the trade of seamstresses or footwear reparators.
