Do you have a low budget to spend on clothing? Or do you need warm clothes, but is this too expensive for you? Then visit the Kledingbank, an organisation that offers the possibility to get free clothes to people with a low income. This way everyone can look well-dressed during all seasons. 

When you cannot spend more than 175 of your income on clothing and food (with deduction of your monthly costs like rent, electricity bills and insurance), then you can visit the Kledingbank. If you have a family, this budget can be higher:
175 euros plus:
– 60 euro for another adult
– 50 euro for children between the age of 13-18
– 25 euro for children up to 12 years old 

When this financial situation applies to you, you can register for an appointment. How to arrange this? Read it in this text!
