2025 Impact Report (Green Tree Textiles).pdf

In 2025, our community donated 15,742 lbs of clothing at our farmers' market — saving 62,968 lbs of CO₂, 11 million gallons of water, and keeping textiles out of landfills for good.

Thanks to our partnership with Green Tree Textiles, 60% gets recycled and 40% gets reused. No clothing ends up wasted.

Help us make underserved neighborhoods healthier and cleaner—your support matters!
