We are a textile recycling and collection company, and can help schools with fundraising by paying them by the pound for clothing, and shoe donations. This can be done by clothing drives and placement of clothing donation bins both at the school and at locations throughout the community.
This can offer a "Green" alternative to fundraising efforts to align with your "Green' initiatives.
