Buying cheap clothes on Schoola to help our schools and environment!!!

So, I discovered another new favorite online clothing website today that just might be my favorite one! It's called Schoola. This company sells used, donated clothing items, and 40% of their proceeds go to help schools in need, in our country and elsewhere. These funds are used to bring back really important programs (including the arts) that tend to get cut due to budget limitations....so that's another thing that hits really close to home for me since I am a musician. The "Mission" page on their website says this:
"Today, we are 100+ employees working to support 20,000 schools. Together with thousands of community members & customers, we bring new paints to art classes, new instruments to the orchestra, new books to the libraries. Quality clothes get a second life. Parents help parents. Schools help schools. And students get the tools they need to realize their full potential at school."
Keep art like the picture above in our schools!!

Do something good today! The next time you need some certain clothing item (minus a swimsuit...I don't think they sell those), SHOP HERE FIRST! Help our schools keep their arts programs and get AMAZING prices on your clothes. I ordered FIVE items and the total came up to $38! Disclaimer right off the bat....this site does NOT offer men's clothes, only women's and children's (including boys) clothes, but it's still an incredible company.

Here's a little treat for you, too. If you use this link to do your shopping, https://www.schoola.com/stitch/referral
You will get $10 free credit to spend on clothes, and so will I! You then, in turn, can also go ahead and share your own referral link to spread the good news and earn some more credits on your own. So, try it out! Use the free $10!!!! (On a side note, I don't think your $10 will work on new with tags items, but those don't comprise the majority of the stock on this website). There is legitimately no good excuse not to...it's free stuff. I used a beloved sister-in-law's link to get a credit towards my shopping and it worked! No tricksy stuff...the $10 just comes right off of your purchase. I really am in love with this company, and I ABSOLUTELY love the idea of giving back to schools while I'm doing my shopping.

There are other advantages, too, to using this website. Buying gently used, second-hand clothes promotes sustainability and reduces waste. There is absolutely no need to use the materials, resources, labor, and energy to produce the amount of new clothes that we do in this country when there are SO many gently used ones floating around looking for new people to please. Let's be honest....what percentage of the clothes that you get rid of are LEGITIMATELY worn out? Probably not too many. I know for myself that if I get tired of something and don't wear it hardly ever, it usually ends up getting put in the donation bag and some other smart person picks it up for a really great deal. I recently made an order for summer shirts on this website and I can't wait for them to arrive! Shipping is slow, but who cares?! It's an awesome company with an awesome mission....and who doesn't want to support that sort of company these days? I do, and I'll definitely keep using Schoola.
