Free Clothing Repair Fair hosted by the Goodwill Auburn Store
Goodwill Northern New England is teaming up with Maine GearShare to offer a free clothing repair fair!
The public is invited to bring a piece of damaged clothing to the in-store event. Folks can shop for their next treasure while Maine GearShare staff and volunteers give their clothing the new life it needs. This event is just in time for kids preparing to head back to school. It's an opportunity to teach children, who often damage their clothes, about textile circularity.
Goodwill is a leader in re-use, but they have never been able to offer repair - until now. This partnership with Maine GearShare will help keep even more materials out of landfills on top of the roughly 50 million pounds Goodwill diverts from landfills each year. Sustainability has always been core to Goodwill’s mission
