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. Our on site clothing donation shed, courtesy of St. Pauly Textile is there for everyone to donate any used clothing you no longer need. Tax slips and plastic bags (for bagging up your donation) are conveniently located at the box. The church receives a small donation for every pound of clothing gathered.
