As you may know, Planet Aid collects donated clothing for reuse, diverting it from landfills. But what about Planet Aid employees? How do they feel about clothing reuse?

🛎️Ding! Ding! Ding!🛎️Mission accomplished! We found a bona fide thrifter in Planet Aid's new HR Generalist, Erin Kroder. Not only is she a thrifter, but she's very knowledgeable about what makes a good thrifted item.

And when we found Erin in the office, her professional, comfy, and casual outfit was thrifted from head to toe.💃

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣!♻️ Donating your gently used clothes at a local Planet Aid bin always makes a difference for people and planet.🌎

One way your donation helps is by funding global development projects, like farmers' clubs in Africa, Asia, and South America. 🌱These are locally led projects that foster food security and climate-resilient, sustainable solutions.

Your donation continues its impact by helping create jobs, empowering micro-entrepreneurs, and keeping usable clothes out of the landfill. That's a lot of impact for t-shirts, sweaters, and jeans, and it all adds up to a big difference.👕👔♻️👖

So remember, when you find a local bin, you support a global effort.
