Where do your clothes go?

Your gently used items help support families in third world nations.

Clothes, shoes and related items are provided at a very low cost to local entrepreneurs abroad — especially women in business — so they can make a living in places where the economy is poor and times are tough.

A vendor can sell almost anything if she can afford to buy it first. Your bag of clothing becomes the stock that lets her feed her family, pay school fees and build a life on her own terms.

Why donate to Clothes For Paws

Did you know over 200 billion pounds of textile waste end up in landfills every year?

According to earth.org, more than 92 million tonnes of clothing and textiles are thrown away each year — over 200 billion pounds. As fast fashion keeps growing, that number is expected to rise even higher. That waste is more than an environmental problem — it is a missed opportunity.

We redirect those same items into circulation instead, and through our partnership with Pet Alliance the proceeds from our collection work help pets right here in Central Florida — adoptions, medical care and the pet food pantry. Less landfill waste. More animals getting the care they need.
