A church in China’s southeastern coastal Zhejiang Province sent unused clothing to impoverished ethnic minority households in Yunnan Province.

Responding to the church’s call, the members of Jiaojiang Church in Taizhou donated nearly 1000 pieces of clothing (including more than 200 men’s suits and 100 pieces of winter clothing), which are above 80% new and valued more than 80,000 yuan, the church reported.

On March 2, after being carried to a small open truck by church members, more than 20 bags of packed clothes were sent to a local logistics and transported to Lisu ethnic group in Fugong County, Nujiang, Yunnan, with the shipping cost of 1,280 yuan.  

Up until now, the church has launched dozens of donation campaigns to ethnic minorities and poor children in Xinjiang, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Guizhou.
