We are connscious of environmental programs as we wish to offer a better future to our children. We have established a recycling program for the extra clothes received. It is sent to the homeless and needy in neighbouring towns. However, when the clothes are too damaged, it is cut into rags and sold at $1.00 per bag to our local factories and garbages.
