Dear valued donors,
REDRESS CELEBRATES A RECORD-BREAKING GET REDRESSED MONTH
Our annual October campaign, Get Redressed Month, shines a spotlight on the issue of clothing waste, encouraging Hongkongers to rethink how they buy, use and dispose of clothing. Last October, thousands of companies, clubs, schools and individuals across Hong Kong chose to give their unwanted clothes a new life by participating in Hong Kong’s largest clothing drive, and some went even further and gave secondhand clothing a try for the first time!
We were overwhelmed with the out-pouring of support for the campaign from companies, schools and retailers, with many partners returning for the second, third and even fourth time; and new school and company recruits taking part in the clothing drive, hosting educational talks, organising Get Redressed Days and even running their own mini secondhand pop-up stores!
Take a look at the results of the Get Redressed Month 2021 campaign HERE and keep an eye out for updates about the 2022 campaign on our website and social media.
