Join us for a tour of Helpsy’s new textile facility in Upper Marlboro!
This is a unique opportunity to learn about textile reuse/recycling, discover what really happens to used clothing, explore ways to be part of the solution, and anything else you’d like to know about the textile industry!
Helpsy is a certified B Corp with a mission to keep clothing out of the trash, create meaningful jobs, and operate sustainably. Every day, they collect 100,000 pounds of clothing in partnership with 1,500 communities, businesses, and nonprofits across ten northeastern states, including Maryland.
They are deeply committed to addressing the textile waste crisis through transparency, stakeholder education, and community engagement.
*The tour runs from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm and light refreshments will be provided. Please wear closed-toe shoes for safety.
