FEE Head Office helps clean up after Red Cross Sale

For the fourth year in a row, FEE Head Office staff donated half a day to help clean up after the annual Red Cross sale that takes place every December in Copenhagen.

“Every year, Danish companies give us their excess clothes and accessories instead of burning them, and we promise to sell these items only during our sale and not in our shops. Danes get a chance to buy expensive brands at very affordable prices and afterwards any remaining items are then sent abroad or recycled for fibers,” says Majken Rydstrøm Johansen from the Red Cross.

In just eight hours of sales over two days, Red Cross made a staggering amount of money for good causes. “This year we made 461,00 DKK (60,000 Euros) for our work in Denmark and for our operations worldwide,” adds Majken Rydstrøm Johansen.

“At FEE we believe in giving back, so that is why we choose every year to donate half a day out of our busy schedule to help with a worthy cause,” says CEO Daniel Schaffer.
