More than 300 donor companies have given a retail cost of $420,000,000 worth of new goods.

NEW GOODS KEPT OUT OF LANDFILLS
That equals 8,800,000 pounds of new clothing and other items that were not dumped and left to damage the environment.
8,400,000,000
GALLONS OF WATER SAVED
8.4 billion gallons of our most precious resource saved. Approximately 20 gallons of water are used to make every $1 worth of clothing.
2,000
POLLUTANTS KEPT OUT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
The production of clothing uses about 2,000 different chemicals. By reducing the number of items in landfills, we reduce the number of chemicals.

SAVED BY CANADIANS IN NEED
Clients receiving goods do not have to purchase them. This frees up scarce funds that can be used for other basic-needs such as food and shelter.

PEOPLE TRAINED
Alongside our clothing donation programs we also offer job training placements and workshops in our warehouse and dress shop.

VOLUNTEER HOURS
