The Kolpingfamilie Wolfenschiessen has carried out street collections on behalf of TEXAID in the past. Today there are more than ten TEXAID bins in the Nidwalden region collecting in favour of the association. By selling used clothes, TEXAID generates funds which go to its six participating aid agencies, as well as to numerous regional organisations, including the Kolpingfamilie Wolfenschiessen.

Among other things, the Kolpingfamilie uses the money received to support the apprentice home in Stans and the dairy cow project in Tamil Nadu (India) organised by Kolping Switzerland. The aim of the project in India is to improve the living conditions of poor families by making dairy cows available to them.
