Why donate?
Segunda Mana is inspired by the spirituality of stewardship. As a way of life, stewardship challenges all of us to serve others using the gifts we have received. Since everything we have comes from God, our attitude must not only consist of gratitude but also of a deep sense of especially for those who are most in need.
What can you donate?
Giving usually means sharing what is precious to us. But with Segunda Mana, you can help by giving what you don't need anymore, because what is no longer useful to you may still be valuable to others. Segunda Mana allows you to free up space in the workplace or home while helping those most in need at the same time.
Segunda Mana accepts the following items:
- Old or used items that still have value
- New items that you don't need or have too much of
- Damaged items that are still repairable
