    Helping the homeless by inviting people to hang their clothes they no longer use outdoors. This is the invitation of Force Comm'UNE, which is transforming the suburbs of Paris into a sort of great solidarity wardrobe.





    The idea is as simple as it is brilliant and useful: you are asked to put the clothes on the hooks, put a waterproof cover on them and maybe even leave a message like "I'm not lost, they are for you if you are cold", to explain why the clothes they are "abandoned".

    Since December 2017, the collective has invited all those in need to wear warm clothes (jackets, scarves, sweaters, hats, etc.).

We invite you to accompany the donation with a small message, a warm word for the one who will wear it.
