Clothing donation that does double good.

Vibe Collective collects gently used clothing across Vancouver and gets it to people in Uganda who need it — sorted and shipped by people rebuilding their lives in recovery. Watch where one bag goes.

Why it works

Three kinds of good from one donation.

It reaches people

Your clothes reach people who need them — not a bin.

Gently used clothing you'd otherwise throw out is hand-checked and shipped to partner communities in Uganda, where good, wearable clothing is genuinely needed. Not a donation box that disappears — a route you can follow all the way.

It creates work

Meaningful paid work, in recovery.

Every donation feeds the sorting line, where people rebuilding their lives in recovery do skilled, dignified, paid work.

It cuts waste

Less waste, used well.

Usable clothing that would head to the landfill gets a second life instead — a real environmental win alongside the human one.

Follow one bag, all the way.

You donate

Drop off a bag, or book a pickup.

Across Vancouver — individuals and companies both welcome. No paperwork to drop off.

We sort, by hand

People in recovery do the sorting.

Our team quality-checks and sorts every item by size and season — meaningful paid work, treated as work.

It reaches Uganda

Quality clothing lands where it's needed.

Sorted, baled, and shipped to partner communities. Nothing usable is left behind on the way.

Our commitments

Promises we keep — not statistics we inflate.

Our promise, not a metric —

Three kinds of good, from one donation.

Every bag you give does three things at once: it clothes people in Uganda, it funds paid work for people in recovery, and it keeps usable clothing out of the landfill. That's the whole point of Vibe Collective.

Sorted by hand, every time.

Every donation is handled by our recovery team — never dumped unsorted, never sent on unchecked.

Zero usable clothing to landfill.

If it can be worn, it gets worn. Anything usable is sorted, packed, and sent where it's needed — a promise, not a headline number.
