About Us

Our mission is simple: to ensure all usable clothing and textiles reach those in need and eliminate textiles from our waste stream. Friendship Used Clothing, a North Carolina-based "Mom and Pop" business, was founded by lifelong recyclers who recognized the growing problem of textile waste filling our landfills. We knew this was an issue we had to address.

We specialize in partnering with non-profit organizations that are overwhelmed by clothing donations, purchasing the items they cannot resell or distribute. This allows them to better manage their inventory while raising essential funds for their causes. By working together, we aim to significantly reduce the amount of textiles entering landfills every day. Instead of becoming waste, these textiles provide clothing to people in need worldwide, create jobs, reduce waste, and support non-profits.

We also place small collection bins in convenient locations, doing our part to keep as many textiles as possible out of landfills. A portion of the proceeds from these bins is always donated to our charitable partners. We understand people are accustomed to donating directly to charities, and our goal is to ensure that your donations continue to have a positive impact on communities.

Together, we can make a difference!
