“Especially warm jackets and trousers,” says Stenvers. “Because the winter months are coming and there is a shortage of winter jackets and trousers.” The initiative for the fundraising campaign originated in their bar, Stenvers says. “As an association we want to contribute to the city and with 550 members this was something we could easily do. Almost all students have something in their closet that they no longer wear.” White shirts, for example. There are a striking number of these in the approximately thirty bags of clothing. Not warm, "but very handy for when people here go for a job interview," says an employee of the Salvation Army.
