The second-hand shops,
trödel|point, at Prenzlauer Allee 87, and
möbel|point at Fröbelstraße 17, offers, besides all kinds of second hand things (except clothes), a first aid furniture-help for homeless that just received their apartment. The former homeless people get all they need for their new life with thing for the kitchen, furniture etc., all paid through the association by the social
authority. The project also serves as help for the citizens that needs to get rid of their heavy furniture by picking them up at their home.
The things that are given to us are picked up, repaired, cleaned and then given to people in need, this concept help to protect the environment. The project does not only help the environment, but also creates working opportunities.
Most of the workers are MAEs or so called 1-Euro-Jobers or ASS (work instead of punishment), they have the opportunity to use their abilities and talents the Trödel/Möbel|point.
