External collection points set up in Eschborn and Kronberg
Proceeds from charity bazaar largely for MS patients
Today the collection dates for the "14th PfennigBazar" start. On Tuesday, April 18, for the first time this year, PfennigBazar volunteers will be on hand to accept donations in kind that can be resold for a good cause. From 9 a.m. to noon, donors can drop off clothing, household goods, art or toys in good condition. The collection point has been set up at the Fermont haulage company in Frankfurt-Bockenheim. There will be a total of six dates until the end of June. There are also external collection points in Eschborn and Kronberg. The proceeds from the PfennigBazar on September 5 and 6 will go in large part to the German Multiple Sclerosis Society (DMSG) Hesse Regional Association to finance counseling and therapy services. New helpers are also being sought for the collection dates and sales.
Today the collection dates for the "14th PfennigBazar" start. This is the best opportunity to clean out your home and donate the sorted out things to a good cause. The helpers are happy to accept clothing, accessories, art, household goods and toys in good condition in order to sell the donations in kind again at the "14th PfennigBazar" on Tuesday, September 5 and Wednesday, September 6 in Frankfurt's Dominican Monastery, true to the motto "Buy for little money, help in a big way".

New helpers welcome
The organisation of the collection dates and the PfennigBazar is a challenge for which every lending hand can be used. New helpers are therefore very welcome. The volunteers receive the donations, sort and pack them into boxes. On the bazaar days, the helpers are the good spirits, fill up the clothes racks and shelves, and give friendly and competent advice to the customers in the "PfennigBazar" department store. Whoever is interested in helping voluntarily at the collection dates and at the PfennigBazar, please contact Karin Herring of the DMSG Hessen, Tel. 069/405898 - 21, Email: <link>herring@dmsg-hessen.de
