Donate Your Promotional T-Shirts
Donate Your Promo T-Shirts: Models Give Back
I was looking through my Facebook feed the other day, and noticed a post by one of our promotional models; Cassandra Elie. She was asking her friends and other models to pack up their promo t-shirts and donate them to help support the relief efforts in Haiti after hurricane Matthew. What a thoughtful and practical idea!
As an organization that works with thousands of promotional models across the United States, we as a company decided to compile a list of reputable organizations that accept and provide clothes to those in need. If you work as a promotional model, and are looking to donate your promo t-shirts, this list is for you.
We’ve structured the list below by city. Under each city you’ll find a list of organizations, a brief description of where your promo shirts will go, and steps on how you can donate.
