New Rise Int'l

Company Description

Interestingly, your old T-shirts, jeans and other giveaways could end up overseas regardless of where you donate them. Weâve always been amazed walking through some of the most remote areas in the developing world and seeing designer suits on sale for a couple of bucks, fancy Sunday dresses worn by young girls playing in the dirt and teenage boys wearing threadbare âI heart Justin Bieberâ shirts. We even once saw a well-worn Toronto Maple Leafs jersey whisking by on a bus in sub-Saharan Africa.Itâs well known that a portion of what thrift shops donât sell in their stores is sold instead to salvage dealers, who buy and sell used clothing by the pound, passing through several middlemen who collect, ship and distribute the clothes to markets around the world. Itâs a $1-billion business that has grown tenfold over the past three decades, according to the United Nations. Canadaâs $174-million share of the business goes mostly to India, Pakistan and various African countries.A recent CBC investigation uncovered a vast, lucrative industry of used-clothing drop-off bins run by private, for-profit companies with little or no benefit to charities. It recommended contacting the charity named on the bin, if any, to verify what clothing they need and will accept.The main problem with the used-clothing export industry is its impact on local economies in the receiving countries. The flood of cheap clothing makes it nearly impossible to grow a sustainable domestic textile industry, which would be a far preferable route to long-term economic development.Similarly, donating used items overseas directly is generally not the most cost-effective way to help. The sheer cost of transportation and customs can be prohibitive relative to buying locally produced goods. Weâve also always found it awkward to think that so many items donated overseas may have originated in factories in the countries theyâre being sent to.There remain a lot of great options for donating the loot you find in your closet this spring. With traditional thrift stores â especially ones with direct charitable programs, such as the Salvation Army and Goodwill â youâre helping not just charities but also low-income shoppers and even cost-conscious families with rapidly growing kids. In many communities, youâll find smaller, independent thrift stores, such as the May Court Bargain Box in Ottawa, that are operated by volunteers and donate proceeds to a range of local charities. Most homeless and womenâs shelters have clothing drop boxes. Centres for low-income or teen parents often accept gently used baby clothes and toys.Check whether your municipality is one of several in Canada (mostly in Ontario) with âTake It Backâ guides listing various local merchants and organizations that take various used items â from computers and batteries, to automotive parts, health supplies and gardening equipment â for reuse or safe recycling. Habitat for Humanity operates over 70 â Re Storesâ across Canada that accept and resell quality used building supplies. Dress For Success has eight Canadian locations that accept donations of business attire and accessories for disadvantaged women to gain and maintain secure jobs.And if you want to use your closet to help people overseas, you can always take your clothes to a consignment shop, or hold a garage sale, and send the proceeds to an overseas charitable organization.
