Sadhu! I, lord of compassion, didn't know that donating Robes for Ven. members of the Sangha is possible starting from the 24. on
Robes can be given all the time, but only in special cases they can be used specially or freely by the Sangha or paticular members.
Kaṭhina-Robes, need to be prepeared and sewn till the next morning by the community.
Possible less know about the Kaṭhina-privileges. Normaly a Bhikkhu is not given to receive robes for personal use, aside when got lost or destroyed.
As a "bonus" for those Bhikkhus who spended the Vassa prper, there are 5 main Kaṭhina-privileges for those Bhikkhus:
[1] AnāmantacāraA Bhikkhu may visit families without addressing and informing another present Bhikkhu. (nomal not allowed)
[2] AsamadānacāraOne may leave for a journey without taking all three robs with him.
[3] GaṇabhojanaFor a certain time one is allowed to take the meal together with the other. (normally only on special occations allowed and usually Bhikkhus eat allone)
[4] Yāvadattha-cīvaraUsing Robes without amount and time-restrictions, without having declared them (adhiṭṭhāna), without having been given (vikappana).
[5] Yo ca tattha cīvarruppādo, so nesaŋ bhavissati:Every Robe/garment, which is offered to a certain community, belongs to the inhabitants (Bhikkhus)."
Cloth-month (cīvaramāsa) is the name of the last month of the rain (vassānassa pacchimo māso).
Robe-garment, which is given in this month, while the "-privileges have not been given (without Vinaya-procedure), can be stored without having declared or been given.
