Let go with love: Donate your ex's baggage for a good cause

Breakups are never easy, but they don't have to leave you with unnecessary baggage. While relationships may not always get a second chance, your pre-loved and still usable belongings can benefit other people.

By donating through Caritas Manila's Segunda Mana's #BreakUpBox program belongings, you're not just moving on — you're also making a difference!

Here's how you can turn your breakup into a blessing:

Use any box – Gather items that you need to let go of. Think clothes, stuffed toys, accessories, books, or anything in good condition that you no longer want to keep.

Drop it off – Place your items in a box, seal it with love (or closure), label it as your #BreakUpBox, and deliver it to one of the designated Segunda Mana Charity outlets.

Say thank you and goodbye - After dropping off your box with a grateful heart, knowing it will bring joy to someone in need.

You can drop off your #BreakUpBox at any of these locations:

• Gift Corner, 3rd Floor, Market Market, Taguig City
• Level 3, Farmer’s Plaza, Cubao, Quezon City
• 2nd Floor, Fairview Terraces, Quezon City
• Caritas Manila Inc. Compound, Pandacan, Manila
• Ground Floor, 500 Shaw, Mandaluyong City
• Riverbank Mall, Marikina City
• 3rd Floor, StarMall Edsa-Shaw, Mandaluyong City

Even bad breakups can lead to something good. Your donations will be sold at Segunda Mana thrift stores, and the proceeds will help fund Caritas Manila's programs for education, disaster response, and livelihood assistance for those in need.
