Re:new is an organization in Wheaton, IL helping refugee women in the area settle. They teach sewing and knitting classes to help women learn new skills. The organization also accepts donated textiles and clothing. In fact they rely on donated goods because all of their projects are made from recycled materials. They have lots of great information on their site too. Did you know in 2007 11.9 million tons of knew textiles were generated. In that same year 2.8 billion pounds of textiles were wasted. Nice to know there are places to donate such materials so we can break our wasteful habits while at the same time create opportunity. Waste creates more waste … Resourcefulness creates more resourcefulness. It’s the law of attraction. Any way check them out and look for other organizations like them. Please send them our way. We will add them to our blog roll and would love to post about them.
