Carifant in Traunstein: Used toys get a new life
On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, the Carifant second-hand toy store of Caritas opens its doors at Campus St. Michael in Traunstein. From 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, visitors will discover affordable toy treasures, new play ideas, and a socially sustainable shopping experience for young and old.
Second-hand toys with meaning
At Carifant, used toys are accepted as donations, checked, cleaned, and then sold again at low prices. Minor repairs give selected toys a second life and connect sustainable consumption with careful craftsmanship. The assortment includes, among other things, toys for toddlers, children's books, construction toys, wooden toys, board games, puzzles, dolls, vehicles, and seasonal items.
Regional participation and interaction
The store represents more than budget-conscious shopping. People with mental impairments are given the opportunity to rediscover and further develop basic skills for employment. In the daily interaction, employees, customers, citizens, and volunteers come together. This creates an open market atmosphere where social participation, sustainability, and community come together.
Sustainable shopping and making a difference
Those who browse in Carifant save resources while also supporting a social employment initiative of Caritas. New favorite pieces are created from used toys, while functional items remain in the regional cycle. Good-condition children's and youth books as well as damaged toys are also accepted and expertly checked or repaired.
Visit to Campus St. Michael
The Carifant store is located in the new clay house on the grounds of Campus St. Michael in Traunstein. The event provides an opportunity to get to know the store, browse the selection, and learn about the interplay of sustainability, social work, and affordable second-hand goods.
A visit to Carifant combines practical bargains with regional engagement. Those seeking sustainable play ideas and wanting to support social participation will experience a special place for shopping and meeting here.
