It’s been a month, and we’re still buzzing. Huge thanks to everyone who upcycled, swapped, and shared the love with us and our partners @foragercrafts × @climatedesignersla × @little.green.art.studio. Your creativity kept textiles in use and out of landfills—and put great pieces into new hands.
From on-the-spot tee transformations to treasure-hunt vintage finds and clothing drop-offs, you showed what a circular community looks like. If you snapped photos, tag us—we’d love to share your upcycled items!
Missed it? You can still support: donate gently used clothing, volunteer with our team, or try an at-home upcycle project this weekend.

You can share warmth by holding a coat drive with @OneWarmCoat and donating the coats to Project Ropa to help restore dignity to our neighbors in need. Get started at onewarmcoat.org. 🧥

Clean clothes change how people feel, move, and show up in the world. At Project Ropa, our mobile clothing services bring clothing and hygiene essentials directly to unhoused and low-income neighbors across LA—no barriers, just care. 💙
We’re recruiting volunteers to help us:
👍🏻 Set up the mobile unit and create a welcoming, dignified space
👕 Sort and merchandise clothing by size and season
🪥 Assemble hygiene and laundry kits
😀 Greet clients & assist with selections so folks find what truly fits and feels good
✅ 18+ • No experience needed • Training on-site
🚫 No walk-ins (please sign up first)
👟 Wear closed-toe shoes; we’ll provide gloves and guidance.
We have volunteer opportunities at our warehouse in Gardena and service sites in East Hollywood and Central Hollywood. Every shift helps someone head to a job interview, a medical appointment, or simply face the day with dignity.
Ready to roll with us?
