CBF is the labor-of-love of Gurgaon based go-getters Sajan Abrol and Naman Ahluwalia – who decided it was time to pursue their life’s calling. Indeed, Sajan left his cushy job in the corporate sector to go ‘all in’.

We collect clothes that have outgrown their usefulness from their owners, and give them to the ‘have nots’.
We use social , specifically – Facebook, to bridge donor with recipient.
Our team of volunteers sport diverse backgrounds - school students, college students, working professionals, retired officers and homemakers.
Every smiling recipient is photographed and the picture uploaded on our Facebook page - something that lets Donors know exactly how their clothes have been utilized.

While donating clothes is deeply satisfying,there’s always the niggling apprehension that they won’t reach the right destination.By letting donors actually see the recipients’ via Facebook photograph tagging, Clothes Box Foundation solves the problem with joyful simplicity - giving many more donors the confidence to come forward and support the cause, and paving the way for nothing short than a ‘social revolution’.

Initiated in early 2014, the ‘Clothes Box phenomenon’ is already making a difference across 15 cities in India, including New Delhi,Bhopal, Chandigarh, Assam, Bhubaneswar, Silokhera, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Ambala, Noida and Greater Noida - and has touched over 18,000 lives. That apart, we have actively participated in the rehabilitation of Jammu & Kashmir after the floods, Nepal after the earthquake, Muzzaffarnagar after the riots and Chennai after the floods.

CBF helps Corporates in strengthening their CSR programmes by letting them experience the joy of giving via our large scale distribution drives. Some corporates who have chosen to engage with us are IBM, Lochbridge India, Evalueserve,IFFCO TOKIO, AirBnB, GD Goenka World Institute, Meena Bazaar, AEBC Pvt. Ltd and VdopiaInc, to name some. We have also joined hands with Brand Chakra, a 360 degree mentorship & marketing outfit to spread the CBF message across the widest possible audience.

Our passion – and the growing goodwill of CBF - led us to sharing the stage with legendary thespian Shri Amitabh Bachchan on a popular TV show, Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi.
Mr. Bachchan was so impressed that he flew down to Delhi to keep his promise of supporting CBF by distributing his own clothes.
