Big Blue Truck: A leader in sustainability, recycling, and reuse for more than half a century.

Host A Clothing Drive:
It’s Easy and Free!
Hosting a clothing drive is easy, fun, and helps create a more inclusive world by supporting Northwest Center’s critical education and employment programs for children and adults with disabilities.
You can hold a clothing drive at work, an office, a social club, a church, a school, an apartment complex, a neighborhood, or a child care center. When you host or participate in a clothing drive, you clean out your closets, reduce landfill waste, and even receive a tax deduction.
Get started on your clothing drive by filling out and submitting the clothing drive info form. Our clothing drive coordinator will contact you about the details. And remember proceeds from your clothing drive fund Northwest Center’s programs and services for children and adults with disabilities.
