Many families across the nation cannot afford the clothing they need in order to live their daily lives. This is no different in our community so we must find a way to help. Students at Amherst High School are organizing a community wide clothes drive in order to help out local families, and our planet (reusing clothes).

To donate your clothes come to the front entrance of Amherst High School August 1st-8th between 12PM-5PM. You will see our table where we are collecting donations to go to families in need. To sign up for a time to donate visit amherstaction.org/donate today.

We are looking for volunteers to help The Amherst Clothes Drive run smoothly. Between August 1st-8th members of the Amherst community will drop off their clothes donations at our table at the front of the High School from 12PM-5PM to help lower income families and the environment. As a volunteer your job would be to help manage the donation stand at Amherst High School, take people's donations, and record their name and town.

Don't be shy if you, or someone you know would like to get involved with this event please sign up for a time to volunteer on the Google Doc linked in our bio or simply copy this link. https://bit.ly/37cKpGd

Join us as we spend the first week in August donating clothes to help out lower income families, and to stop the production of environmentally harmful clothes made overseas. Right now the average piece of clothing gets worn only seven times before it ends up in a landfill. Let's stop this wasteful cycle and get the most out of our wardrobes.

Between August 1st-8th you may drop off your unused or outgrown clothes to The Salvation Army in Hadley to our stand in the back. So you don't forget please take the time to sign up at amherstaction.org/donate and choose a time to drop off your clothes. Remember every donation counts and our community is counting on you!

Between August 1st-8th Amherst Environmental Action will organize The Amherst Clothes Drive. We encourage all members of our community to take a look around and find clothes that are no longer worn or simply do not fit. Once you gather your donations, schedule a time to drop off your clothes at amherstaction.org/donate, and bring them to our stand at the back of The Salvation Army.

The purpose of this event is to provide lower income families with the clothes they need, and to reduce the number of cheaply produced clothes made overseas that hurt our people and our environment. Right now the fashion industry contributes 10% of total carbon emissions world wide, and with the current demand that number could increase to 24% by the year 2050. Let's do our part by reusing the clothes we have, and make an impact on our community and the world as a whole.

As more and more cars are on the road our planet needs a break from the carbon overload. On the bright side as cars become fuel efficient and more and more people buy electric our annual emissions will go down.

If you want to limit your emissions today sign up for the Amherst Drive FreeDay on June 30th, 2021. Visit amherstaction.org to sign up and let’s commit to a drive freeday.

One of the biggest problems our planet faces is increased carbon emissions due to transportation. This path we are going on is simply not sustainable. In order to change it we must take action. On June 30th, 2021 members of the greater Amherst community will take part in the Amherst Drive Free Day. On this day we will go without driving to spread awareness on how our daily habits have an impact on our planet. To get involved visit https://www.amherstaction.org/get-involved and commit to a day free of driving!
