Mission 🙏
Over 10 years ago, Roundabout got its start as the first-ever charity store in China. Fast forward to today, they’re a well-respected player in Beijing’s volunteer community — supporting dozens of charitable organizations in Beijing and China and beyond.
You’ve probably already heard about Roundabout’s trendy popup events around town — selling books and other donated items to support people in need. If you’re not in Beijing, they even run a convenient online shop via their WeChat account, where you can purchase useful electronics, home accessories, or toys. Proceeds cover overhead costs, and the rest goes to people who need it.
What doesn’t come from sales comes from supporters’ generous donations. Every RMB donated goes directly to help people in need.
Roundabout is a majority female-run organization. Did somebody say…? #GIRLBOSS
