The New Year is a time that is conducive to welcoming the new and leaving behind what no longer serves us.
In this spirit, we invite you to produce good together and make space for what really makes you happy. Literally!
Through Clothes to Give you can donate clothes that no longer serve you. Every kilo of clothing you donate supports those in need who are cared for daily by the Good Factory. The clothes you donate will support not only Darek in his crisis of homelessness, but also Momtaz, who on the other side of the world fights every day for a better future for her daughter. They will also help us to provide professional care for little Muhindo, who is bravely fighting a battle with cancer in Dem. Rep. of Congo.
It’s a simple gesture that costs nothing. All you have to do is pack up your unwanted clothes, order a courier through the Clothes to Give form and watch the kilos of clothes turn into money working for real good!
