ABOUT US

At Clothing For Cause, we work for  people, for planet and for profit. Our mission is to make a positive  impact for people and planet by operating a sound and sustainable  business, following the highest ethical standards. Our goal is to make  textile reuse easy and convenient and maximize waste reduction.

For People: We contribute to the well-being  of those whose means give only the choice of no new clothes or used new  clothes. We also provide a source of income for people with job  opportunities at our company here in the US and for those in developing countries who resell the clothes we supply.

 

For Planet:  We contribute to the sensible use of our land by transforming clothing  and textiles into reusable and valuable products rather than letting  them waste away in landfills. Extending the life of clothing preserves  precious resources and reduces polluting emissions of climate-changing greenhouse gases.

 

For Profit:  We are proud to run a modern company that is growing and creating jobs  in a sustainable green industry. Behind every Clothing For Cause clothing drop box  is a trained team of employees from the local area. We contribute to the  local and state economy by paying salaries and taxes, and purchasing  goods and services from other local businesses. We also contribute to  the success of other non- and  for-profit recycling endeavors by providing a consistent and reasonably  priced source of good reusable clothing for resale.

 

Clothing for Cause redistributes the  discarded clothes we collect to places where there is a great need for  these items, supporting the local and global economy in the process. By  exporting textiles to struggling countries we generate revenue, create  green jobs here in the US and abroad, and help to improve the well-being  of people in America and around the world.

 

We're leading the charge  to encourage the re-wear, re-use and recycling of clothes and other  textiles. Extending the life of clothes and shoes reduces environmental  degradation from the manufacturing of new clothing and makes for a  healthier planet. Through our work, we hope to encourage people to  consider sensible use of our planet's land and resources.

 

Together, we can work to give clothes a second life and make the world a better and cleaner place for people to live.

“There is no such thing as ‘away’. When we throw anything away it must go somewhere.”
– Annie Leonard, Proponent of Sustainability
