Planet Aid

Planet Aid, a nonprofit organization, raises funds through textile recycling. Second-hand clothes, shoes, other textiles, books, small toys and laptops are sold for reuse to raise money for charities that do:

• Emergency relief - serving victims of hunger, war, natural disasters and other catastrophes.
• Relocating people or rebuilding areas hit by disaster.
• Development projects- schools, clinics, mini-banking, and small-scale industry among others.

Planet Aid helps the environment too. In 2006, 72 million pounds of clothes were rescued from the landfill and CO² emissions were reduced the equivalent of keeping 16,000 cars off the roads for a year!

Bread for the World

Bread for the World is a nationwide Christian movement that seeks justice for the world's hungry people by lobbying our nation's decision makers.

Every year during worship services and other events, tens of thousands of BFW members and others offer to God letters we have written to our members of Congress on legislation that is important to hungry people. Again and again, our Offerings of Letters win significant victories.
