Our Story
The Faraja Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by two friends, Khojesta Hamid and Madison Burk. We collect clean clothing donations in order to provide comfort and warmth to the less fortunate of Vancouver. With the help of Bungobox we have been able to collect clothing year round which we consistently redistribute through the First United Church.
Help us give back to those in need by donating any clean clothing you are hoping to get rid of.

Our Mission
We are expanding our outlook and hoping to touch more lives this year. Working alongside Bungobox we will launch the Move Share Care Network (MSC). By partnering with businesses in the moving industry we will utilize their assets to collect, transport and store clean clothing donations year round. This will allow us to build a stock of clean donations that can be handed out year round both locally and internationally.
With the help of organizations, such as the First United Church (more charities to come), we will distribute these donations year round targeting the less fortunate of Vancouver. With the winter season fast approaching we want to provide those in need with the basic comforts that most of us take for granted.
By building a stock of donations we will also be able to help out internationally especially in situations like natural disasters. We are currently working on shipping out donations to Syrian refugees travelling through Europe.
