Community “Clothes for Homes” Drives a Continued Success

Posted: 25-Aug-2021

Wow! The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze us! Recently two local communities in the Peterborough and Kawartha Region held ‘Clothes for Homes’ drives to help build much-needed affordable homes.

Huge THANKS to the amazing people in the Jackson Creek Meadows Neighbourhood and at Stoneguide Realty Limited for their kind efforts in collecting 52 bags/boxes of clothing in a ‘Clothes for Homes’ drive earlier this month.

And to Lett Architects, who also held a ‘Clothes for Homes’ drive at their business and collected 5 fabulous bags of clothing from their office.

When you donate your no longer needed clothes to Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region, you are reducing your carbon footprint by keeping them out of the landfill. Plus, the revenue generated by the sale of your clothes will help build decent and affordable homes for people right here in your community.

But that’s not it. Did you know that Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region has partnered with organizations like the YES Shelter for Youth and Families? We provide their clients with clothing items on a monthly basis that fit their specific needs for types, sizes, and styles of clothing required. We also provide vouchers for their clients to shop at the Habitat ReStore for housewares, furniture, and clothing items to set them up for success for school, job interviews, sports, and life.

So make room in your closets, dressers, and in your life, and clear out those items you don’t wear or need anymore! When you donate your clothing to a Habitat ReStore, you’re not only decluttering your space, you’re giving someone else the opportunity to enjoy your items AND, you are supporting the building of much-needed affordable housing in your local community.
