Frequently Asked Questions

How do families benefit when you donate clothes?
There are two ways families benefit in the community:

First, the families of our charity partners benefit from the funds we are able to give back so that our charity partners can provide much needed services. Those who are less fortunate are appreciative of the items they receive.
Second, their kids get school and play clothes to wear, and parents don't have to spend a fortune on a new wardrobe.

How are clothes recycled if they're not reused as clothing?
Worn out or damaged clothes can still be recycled! Even if it's not able to be worn any longer, the material can be made into other handy everyday items including industrial quality hand towels, and insulation for houses.

Who gets the funds from collected clothes?
