All Projects
River of Hearts (ROH), established in 2003, is an outreach program of the Community Center Shanghai. ROH provides internationals living and working in Shanghai, with the opportunity to graciously give items they no longer need to those who do by donating new and quality used clothing apparel and accessories to designated drop-off locations. Three times a year, ROH gathers all donations, organizes large "sorting parties" hosted by international schools alternating between Puxi and Pudong, and invites volunteers to participate in a day of sorting and community, while enjoying a sponsored lunch. At these sorting parties the donations are organized, bagged and loaded for transport to rural areas within China, both near and far. For more information on how you can get involved, please visit us online at http://www.communitycenter.cn/Outreach_CCS_RiverOfHearts.asp.
