Toofles collects anything and everything from a pin to a piano. We take clothes, DVD's, toys, furniture, electronic items, books and just abot anything you can think of! You can call Toofles on +91 9833011611 and depending upon the area, Toofles will organize for your stuff to be picked up. Once a donation pick up is made, our volunteers get busy in the sorting process where all the donated items are scrutinized, classified and priced under the manager's instruction.
Collection drive at Beach Tower, Prabhadevi in March 2009
Toofles has set channels for selling the donated items. There is a permanent saturday garage sale at our Prabhhdevi warehouse, which gives the underpriviledged slum communitites form the nearby areas to get access to reasonable things, the e-waste is given out to fixed vendors, high quality clothes and goods are sold at college festivals and so on.
Our Founder, Ms. Madhabi Puri Buch, lending a hand with the collections!
Toofles has successfully organized more than 120 collection drives, out of which about 12 were corporate, 3 residential society based, 4 education institutional and more than a 100 individual drives. (Figures of approximation).
We are always looking for collections of books, in addition to everything else, as they are very popular! For more information on our 'Books for Smiles' program, click here.

To get involved, follow these steps:
Step 1) Contact Toofles if you have a donation to make or if you want to spearhead a donation drive in your residential area or workplace.
Step 2) Once you have chosen the location for the collection drive, coordinate logistics and ensure proper promotional material (basic things like hand made posters and sms-es will also do) is given out before the day of the collection.
