Latrobe St. Mission - Textile Recycling ProgramDuring our Mission week, June 26-30, we will have a trailer from the Latrobe Street Mission here at Stout Memorial to collect clothing for the mission. Please bring any clothing, shous, belts, and purses (even if it is not wearable) to the church and drop off in the trailer. Any clothing that is not useable by the mission will be sent of for recycling. See below for more information.

This letter is to talk about our textile recycling program. For those of you who have not heard about this program I am going to go over the basics. We have a box truck that goes out to the different area thrift stores to pick up their left over textiles throughout the week. the warehouse in the back of our shelter is where workers sort and bale the clothing shoes, purses, and belts that comes in daily. Once we unload the clothing into the warehouse, it gets sorted into items for our clothing closet that we use to clothe our residents. Then, textiles that we can not use at the time get pressed and tied into large bales with our bailing equipment. When we have enough bales, a large truck comes and picks up the load and takes it to Canada and then over seas where it is used for clothing closets and to break down for manufacturing new clothing. This program has kept over 400,000 lbs. of clothing out of our landfills each year. Last year alone, this program added a revenue of $97,663 toward the operating cost of our Mission. We need your help to continue to grow this program as our shelter is growing and helping more people. We have recently purchased a covered trailer and added our logo. The plan for this is to schedule temporary drop site locations for organizations and churches that plan on having a clothing drive to help support Latrobe Street Mission. We know that most people have old clothes sitting around their house that they do not use and would frankly like a place to take them that would get some use out of them. All you have to do is schedule a time for us to drop off our trailer at you organization and then your people can drop off their clothing at their convenience. Such an easy concept, yet such a HUGE way to support your homeless community.
