We turn closets into community action—transforming unused clothing into hope for families across Los Angeles. Through our student-led team, passionate volunteers, and generous donors, Wear It Forward has provided thousands of pounds of clothing directly to local shelters, reduced textile waste, and inspired sustainable giving.

With over 5,000 lbs of clothing diverted, 100+ volunteers engaged, and hundreds of families supported, we remain committed to building a stronger, more compassionate city—one bag at a time.
