This Earth Month, Goodwill SoCal collaborated with local designers who upcycled outfits by transforming clothing and materials sourced from our stores. We hope to inspire a love of thrifting, highlight our ongoing commitment to sustainability, and share the positive impact donations and purchases have on our communities and the environment.
For more than 100 years, Goodwill SoCal has been a pioneer in the “reduce, reuse, repurpose” practice. Shopping and donating is not only gentle on your wallet, but also shows care for our planet by repurposing goods and keeping usable items out of landfills. You are also supporting our community by helping to provide job training and placement services for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment.
Whether you’re shopping secondhand, donating your gently-used items, or simply spreading the word about our commitment to sustainability, every action counts this Earth Month (and all year long!).
Check out our exhibit at our Atwater Village Retail Store.
