The Washing-thon is happening in Singapore for the first time!

When I first heard of the event, I thought, how meaningful it is! From 13 -15 June, washing machines and tumble dryers will be on repeat cycles at Toa Payoh as Electrolux aims to launder a record-breaking number of donated clothes. Working with charity partners MINDs and Blessings in a Bag, the clothing laundered at the Washing-thon event will be given away for deserving causes in Singapore, Cambodia and Laos.

In fact, collection drives have already started, with public donation points at Toa Payoh CC and The Grandstand. Local schools and corporates are also helping to collect clothing ahead of the Washing-thon, and direct donations are encouraged throughout the event – with pre-loved t-shirts, trousers and jeans being the most sought after items.

I will be bringing my kids to check out the event next week and bringing some of our pre-loved clothes there for donation as well. If you are free, you can check out the event as there will be a variety of activities and entertainment happening. From balloon sculptures to musical entertainment and performance from local artistes, this can be a really fun event for the whole family to attend together. Since it's the school holidays, why not bring your family there and do your part for a worthy cause at the same time! While you are there, you can also take some nice photos of your Washing-thon donations and share it on Instagram by tagging #washingthon. The 10 pictures with the most ‘likes’ by 15 June will receive an Electrolux steam iron.
