Helpsy is the largest textile collection company in the Northeast US, and we are only continuing to grow. We are proud to be a Public Benefit Corporation and a Certified B Corp with an environmental mission: to keep clothes out of the waste stream. To fight this battle, we work with partners large and small to place clothing collection containers, schedule collection drives, engage with cities and towns, and manage unwanted inventories. In 2021 Helpsy kept 29 million lbs of clothes, shoes, and other items out of landfills -that equates to 100 items of clothing every minute. We also removed 560 million lbs of CO2 from the atmosphere and saved 14 billion gallons of water, only counting the clothes we collected for resale in thrift stores.
