Hosting takes less effort than most people expect. You pick the dates and spread the word — we bring the flyer, the messaging and the truck. Here is exactly how it goes, start to finish.

Most hosts spend under two hours total across the whole drive.
Call or text us, or fill out the form. Tell us who you are and roughly when you'd like to collect. We'll suggest dates that work for our truck schedule.
Pick a window (a week is the sweet spot) and one visible collection point — front office, lobby, fellowship hall, break room, or doorsteps for neighborhoods.
Download our flyer, add your dates, and post it where people already gather. Send one email or group message so nobody is surprised.
Bags pile up. We provide messaging you can copy and paste for reminders, and we're a phone call away the whole time.
On pickup day our team loads everything — from your collection point or from each doorstep. No lifting, no hauling, no drop-off trips.
Your drive, week by week.
Day 1
We answer with dates, the flyer, and a short checklist. Nothing complicated.
3-4 weeks out
Dates, collection spot and one point of contact are set. You're officially hosting.
2 weeks out
Flyer goes up, first message goes out. People start setting bags aside.
1 week out
One reminder message, bags or bins labeled and in place. Schools launch the class-vs-class competition.
Drive week
Most donations arrive in the final 48 hours — a short daily nudge makes a real difference.
Pickup day
Our truck comes to you. Then share the results with your community — people love knowing it worked.
Two pages, ready to print on standard letter paper. Page one is the flyer you post — what to donate, how it works, and a blank space for your dates and drop-off spot. Page two is your host checklist, from the first announcement to pickup day.
Need it customized with your organization’s name or logo? Text us and we’ll send one over.
The difference between a good drive and a great one is usually a few small details. Share this with your community before the drive starts.
In the markets we supply, the hardest thing to find isn’t customers — it’s affordable stock. A woman in business can sell almost anything if she can afford to buy it first. That is the gap your donations close: we ship your gently used items overseas and supply them at a fraction of retail so she keeps the profit.
She isn’t receiving charity. She’s running a business — and the bag in your closet is what lets her start it.
Port-au-Prince, Haiti
In markets across Haiti, women entrepreneurs buy second-hand clothing in bulk, sort it by size and quality, and resell it piece by piece. Affordable inventory is the hardest part to find. A single pallet of donated clothing can stock a stall for weeks and turn a side hustle into a steady income.
Nairobi, Kenya
Gently used sneakers are one of the most sought-after items in East African markets. Sellers can turn a pair that cost them cents into a sale that covers a day of food, or a term of school fees, for their own children.
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Many sellers start with a folding table and whatever they can afford to buy. With reliable, low-cost inventory they can reinvest instead of just surviving — adding kitchenware, linens and children's clothing until the table becomes a shop.
Illustrative examples of how second-hand goods are resold in the markets we supply.
“The bag sitting in your closet isn't trash. It's someone's starting inventory.”
“Give a woman in business affordable inventory and she doesn't need charity again next month.”
“Nothing here gets thrown away twice. It gets used, resold and used again.”
Tell us about your school, church, neighborhood or workplace and we’ll come back with dates, flyers and a plan.
