Our latest podcast guest, Brittany Henley VanMatre, saw a problem and she decided to do something about it!

Unfortunately, excess clothing often ends up in landfills creating hazardous results for our planet.

This is such an amazing initiative, keeping clothes from the landfills while helping charities, and people in need, it's a win win, everybody wins! Love it!
I like that they are thinking of the environment and no waste.
I love people who are willing to spend the time helping others, those less fortunate. It means the world to those who are in need. Happy Holidays.
Great idea. I'm a BIG fan of reusing anything I can.

I would get some of the toddler clothing. Keeping things out of the landfills is important.
