8 FAB YEARS

Since our launch in 2016 FABSCRAP has

diverted 1,800,000+ pounds of fabric from landfill

recycled commercial textile waste from 860 brands

given away 41% of all reusable fabric

hosted 8,307 volunteers

and spent 1,369 hours educating to reduce waste.

This and more is possible thanks to your support.

Solving the enormous issues within the Fashion Industry requires collaboration from everyone - brands, schools, artists, designers, shoppers, volunteers, donors, other organizations, and innovators! FABSCRAP has a unique ability to unite everyone in a common goal - eliminating textile "waste".

We chose a quilt as our theme this year because the process of quilting also requires various pieces coming together to create a beautiful outcome. Each fabric (stakeholder) is important, each stitch (action) moves us toward the final goal. Sometimes it's hard to see how everything will come together, but looking back, we can see how much progress! What a beautiful tapestry (community) we've created here! Thank you for being part of it!

WHY DONATE

After 8 years of operation, FABSCRAP has proven that the systems we've built to save precious material from landfill and protect our beautiful planet are successful and have real impact. But our need to scale to meet the demand for our services continues. 

Here's how your gift will contribute to our goals and make it possible for us to continue our work:

1) Warehouse Space and Supplies

More stations = more sorting = reduced need for storage long-term. To add more volunteer tables, we need to secure temporary storage space to fit these stations in. Help to also fund warehouse supplies that our team needs on the daily such as scissors, duct tape, trash bags, baling materials, and pallets.

2) Trucking and Transportation

Help fund trucking and transportation fees to our partner shred facility for recycling. We schedule a truck for fabric shredding once every other month - your donation can help fund our transportation costs for the rest of 2024.

3) Community Programming

We're better together! We want to host more events for our community: workshops, panels, book clubs, show and tells, and parties for volunteer appreciation and networking! Your donation provides drinks and snacks, as well as any instructor fees.
