Textile baling partnership benefits Serenity Hospice & Home and the Village of Progress.
The Incredible Benefits

- WIN for Village of Progress employment opportunities and proceeds!
- WIN in keeping textiles out of landfills!
Textile recycling is a pay-it-forward business model that provides assistance in many ways and has a worldwide impact. Recycling is an environmentally-friendly solution for unsalable items.
The recycled items that are donated benefit individuals in all parts of the world and the proceeds help two non profits at a time when traditional funding has been reduced.
How It Works…
- You collect and donate clothing, linens, purses and even belts.
- Serenity staff and volunteers collect and sort items.
- Village of Progress consumers fill the clothes baler and wrap the 1,000 lb. clothing bales.
- Village of Progress stores the inventory of bales in their warehouse.
- A vendor purchases the bales, picks them up and distributes the clothing to Africa, and Central and South America.
