💵 How One School Raised $600 in Just One Week With Clothing Donations

Fundraising can feel overwhelming, but one local school found a low-effort, high-impact solution: a clothing donation drive. No selling, no stress—just bags of gently used clothing. In only 7 days, they raised $600 and supported a great cause.

👕 The Power of Pounds

Our program pays $0.30 per pound for drop-offs & $0.25 per pound for pickups of donated clothing, shoes, and accessories. That week, the school collected over 2,000 pounds—equal to around 80 full bags of clothing. Every bag meant less waste in landfills and more funds for the school.

♻️ Everyone Wins

This fundraiser worked because it made sense: families decluttered, the school earned money, and used clothes got a second life instead of ending up in the trash.
