Donating your used clothes and shoes is a way to support those less fortunate than yourself.  It helps capture the residual value in garments that had been cluttering your closet and transfers that value to someone who will embrace the items as prized possessions. When you donate with Planet Aid, your action makes a real difference to the Earth and to the poor. Read more.

Every year millions of tons of unwanted textiles end up in landfills and incinerators. We strive to save these precious resources from wasteful disposal and make them available for reuse. Read more.
