M&E second hand is a second-hand shop that focuses on sustainability and social responsibility. The shop is a collaboration between the Maritastiftelsen and Erikshjälpen, and the proceeds from sales go to humanitarian work. M&E second hand offers a varied selection of used items, with particular emphasis on furniture.
The store also has a gift reception for donations, but only accepts smaller items. It is possible to become a volunteer in the shop, which gives the opportunity for involvement in social work. Collection of goods from private individuals in Oslo is available, but there are specific restrictions on what can be donated, such as encyclopedias, curriculum books, helmets and car seats for children. M&E second hand thus contributes to both sustainable consumption and support for the needy in society.
