"Over time, behavior changes."

We've recognized the problem and the role that we've played in causing it. As we change our behaviors and work towards a better world, it only makes sense -- it's only *fair* -- to equip those who've come after us with the tools and the knowledge required to continue making those changes and ultimately, to do even greater things.

Every great journey starts somewhere, and ours started with someone believing in us when others wouldn’t.

Ten years ago, the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund took a chance on a small, family-run business with a big vision. That belief helped open doors that otherwise may have remained closed.

Today, we’ve grown from collecting clothing out of a driveway to recovering more than 20 million pounds of textiles annually, serving people and communities across six states, and building something far bigger than where we started.

But we’re far from finished.

We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come, even more excited about where we’re going, and grateful for the people and organizations who have helped us get here.

To the team at the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, thank you for believing in us from the beginning. You’re a part of our story, and always will be.

Here’s to the next ten years of building, growing, creating opportunities, and making an even greater impact. We’re just getting started! ❤️🇺🇸

What an incredible night celebrating creativity, sustainability, and the power of giving materials a second life!

Apparel Impact was proud to serve as the Presenting Sponsor of Project Upcycle, hosted by 3S Artspace in Portsmouth!

We believe that clothing and textiles have far more value than a single use. Project Upcycle brings that belief to life, showcasing what’s possible when talented designers take materials that might otherwise go to waste and transform them into something incredible.

Congratulations to Lillian Pexton, this year’s first-place winner, and to all the designers who shared their creativity and talent!

A huge thank you to 3S Artspace, RECOVERGIRL, the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event possible. We’re grateful to support an event that challenges the way we think about clothing and inspires a better, brighter future.

Reuse. Reimagine. Make an Impact. ♻️

"You sacrifice yourself so everybody else is ahead of you."

A lesson learned in the army at 17 years old still inspires the leadership ideology at Apparel Impact over 20 years later.

We haven't stopped adding drop-off locations since we placed our first one in 2015!

• 6 states.
• Almost 1,700 locations.

Next time you're downsizing your wardrobe and want to be confident that your clothing doesn't end up in a landfill, this is the name you're looking for! 😊

We went on a field trip to Apparel Impact HQ to do some picking for the Project Upcycle design challenge, and we brought along none other than this year's emcee duo. That's right, Aqeel Hisham and Lionel Loveless (Officially Knotted Bowties) will host the Runway Event on October 24 with class, humor, and of course, impeccable style. 👏👏👏

A HUGE thank you to Apparel Impact for inviting us out. We're thrilled to once again have their support as Lead Sponsors this year, helping us turn creativity, collaboration, and clothing into something extraordinary!
