In 2016, at the OKKO gas station network, more than 80 tons of clothes were collected for the underprivileged.

At the network's gas stations, 11 containers for collecting unwanted clothes have already been installed, located in four Ukrainian cities. Sorting and further delivery of items are provided by volunteer organizations cooperating with OKKO within this initiative. In the capital, these are the associations "Responsible Citizens" and "Ukrainian Volunteering" (formerly known as the "Frolovskaya, 9/11" group), in Lviv — the mutual aid initiative "Oselya", in Odesa — the organization "Good Samaritan" (formerly "Monsters Corporation"), and in Dnipro — the "We Help" foundation. These organizations sort the collected items and deliver them to their destinations.

Activists of "Ukrainian Volunteering" directed a significant portion of the received aid to Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including settlements near the contact line. Among those who received help were students from low-income families at a technical college in Krasnohorivka, children from a rehabilitation center in Lysychansk, people who left Luhansk and Donetsk for territories controlled by Ukraine, as well as those who lost their income or housing due to military actions, and other needy individuals. Volunteers from "Responsible Citizens" also operate in this region. For example, items left at OKKO gas stations were handed over to the center for social and psychological rehabilitation of children in Kramatorsk, as well as to one and a half hundred families in Maiorsk.

In Dnipro, representatives of the "We Help" foundation give part of the collected clothing to a local nursing home for the elderly, and the rest is distributed among families with modest incomes. In Lviv, containers for receiving items at OKKO stations appeared five years ago, and today they are filled much more intensively than in other regions of the country. Shoes and clothes collected here are sent to a shelter for the homeless, which is supervised by "Oselya", and are also used to support other community beneficiaries. In Odesa, the "Good Samaritan" foundation has been working on the initiative "Second Life of Your Things" for the second year, so the OKKO network agreed with this organization that the containers at gas stations would also be included in this project. Odesa volunteers pass unwanted items to internally displaced persons and also send them to boarding schools and shelters in the Odesa region.

"Collecting used items at gas stations is a good example of interaction between responsible business, volunteers, and caring citizens, whose joint efforts help many Ukrainians live easier," notes Anna Tikhovska, sustainable development manager of the OKKO network. "It is gratifying to see how many of our customers show participation. Many of them bring items to the containers on a regular basis and have already gotten used to the fact that OKKO provides such an opportunity."
