Cleaning out your closets? We have a place for you to drop them off!! St. Andrew’s Episcopal
Church in Northford has teamed up with St. Pauly Textile Inc., to collect used clothing. The
company works with non-profit organizations , like St. Andrew’s Episcopal, to set up used clothing
drop off sheds designed to give community members a clean, attractive, and well-monitored place
to donate gently used textile items, which are then distributed both here in the U.S. and worldwide
to people who need them.
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church receives funding for clothing collected, and additionally has the
option to use any of this clothing to serve local community needs.
St. Pauly Textile, Inc. collects over 120,000 pounds of clothing every day and estimates that this
clothing ends up in 44 different countries (including the United States) yearly. All of the usable
clothing is worn by someone, somewhere in the world. In 2017, the company was able to help keep
over 20 million articles of clothing out of landfills. The company was founded 22 years ago in

dirt and the elements. There is a small box on the shed that contains receipts to help donors take a
tax deduction.
