How it Works
Step 1
Community members drop off clothing at a clothing shed located at a community organization.
Step 2
We, at St. Pauly Textile Inc., purchase the clothing from the local community non-profit organization. The community organization uses the money that it receives from us in order to support its local mission or complete important community projects.
We sell and distribute the clothing that we purchase all over the US and the world to organizations such as foreign governments, relief organizations, the U.N., private companies and the U.S. government.
This is the most cost effective way for these organizations around the globe to get large quantities of clothing for the people in the communities they represent.
Why St. Pauly Textile Inc. collects clothing
1. According to the EPA, 85% of clothing in the U.S. is thrown away. This means that only about 15% of clothing that could potentially be re-used is collected using existing methods.
2. There is an enormous global need for used clothing. We are able to distribute clothing to organizations and people all over the world who could use it. All of the clothing and textiles that we collect is used by someone somewhere.
