Every piece of clothing has more life in it than we think. ♻️
When we donate, reuse, or upcycle our garments, we keep textiles out of landfills, reduce waste, and help create a more sustainable Niagara.

Denim is one of the easiest fabrics to repurpose, like turning an old pair of jeans into a durable, everyday tote. From patchwork pillow covers to scrunchies, pet toys, aprons, coasters, and even wall art, there are endless DIY projects waiting to be created from clothing you already have.

When you donate your gently used items to Goodwill Niagara, you’re not only giving them a second life, you’re supporting job creation, skills training, and programs in our community.

Wear. Donate. Reuse. Upcycle.
Small actions make a big difference. 💙♻️
