Extending the Fashion Runway - Seite 2

The impact Connections to Success has made since opening its doors 25 years ago is significant.

"We've distributed more than 132,000 items to help those we serve secure employment opportunities," said Keeton.

And even the items Connections to Success can't provide directly to clients are still being put to use.

"There are several ways we redirect items our clients can't use," said Keeton. "Twice a year, we host a pop-up style sale featuring items that are considered more casual wear, as well as overstock inventory or out-of-season items. These items are sold at a very low cost so they are accessible to everyone we serve. Funds raised allow us to replenish our boutique with shoe polish, bags, and other operational items. We also provide overstock and other items we are unable to use to fellow local charities."

The result is creating a brighter - and a greener - future.

"Repurposing clothing, handbags and shoes is a win-win," said Keeton. "Anytime we can take an item that could potentially end up in a landfill and instead allow it to inspire a journey to economic independence, we've created a win for that woman and a win for the environment. It's a way we can all do our part to support the earth and to be kind to one another."

See the impact another nonprofit is making thanks to donated items: Goodwill is another place where many turned to donate items during the pandemic. Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont in Charlotte, North Carolina, a Regions Foundation grantee, resold and gave a second life to nearly 17 million items in its retail stores and more than 132,000 items via e-commerce in 2022 alone. It also recycled or refurbished more than 1.1 million pounds of electronics. The Regions Foundation is a nonprofit primarily funded by Regions Bank.

"When you donate to Goodwill, you're not only giving items a second chance, but you're also helping people in your community on their pathway to prosperity," said Jose Luis, chief operating officer for Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont. "As a social enterprise, proceeds from the sale of donated goods fund job training and employment services offered free of charge. In 2022, Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont provided support to more than 7,700 people in the Charlotte region thanks to donors and shoppers in our community."
