Times Square Center welcomes Ramadan with charity drive

DUBAI: Times Square Center will commemorate the holy month of Ramadan with mindful practices and sustainable events for the entire family.

The community mall will offer — from March 23 to April 24 — numerous edutaining workshops as well as a charity drive for children in need in Kalinga, Philippines through Thrift For Good store.

In the spirit of giving, Times Square Center has partnered with Thrift For Good from March 30 to help children in need and provide a safe space for families facing abuse to support their kids to live, learn, and have a better future.

Visitors to the mall are invited to donate pre-loved items such as bags, shoes, accessories, linens, phones, laptops and books to be resold at Thrift For Good, with 100 percent of profits donated to children in the Philippines who are under the care of the International Association for Transformation (ITA).

For over 40 years, the association has provided sponsorship and support to underprivileged children with their education and daily living. It is the perfect opportunity to declutter and make a difference in the lives of others.
