LS&Co. & Goodwill® Make it Easy to Donate Clothes this Holiday Season


Levi Strauss & Co.
November 29, 2016

This Giving Tuesday, give the gift that gives back.
Donate your used clothing and shoes to Goodwill®, a sustainable deed that keeps unwanted garments out of landfills—ultimately protecting the environment, and in turn, our future.
Since most consumers do the majority of their shopping online, Goodwill (with support from retailers like Levi Strauss & Co.) makes giving back simple for Levi.com and Dockers.com visitors. Through Give Back Box®, online shoppers can easily donate apparel to Goodwill, which will then sell the donated goods in stores and online. Goodwill uses that money to fuel its commitment to helping communities and people in need reach their full potential through learning and the power of work.
For every box of donated clothing or shoes shipped to Goodwill using the free shipping label, LS&Co. will donate $5 to Goodwill, up to a maximum donation of $25,000, to support the organization’s mission of helping people gain skills, earn jobs and support their families. And in honor of Giving Tuesday, LS&Co. will up that donation to $10 per box donated today.
To donate, simply print a free shipping label available via Levi.com/Goodwill and Dockers.com/Goodwill, fill a box of any size (up to 70 pounds or 130 inches) — such as those from Levi.com and Dockers.com orders — with any brand of clean, dry clothing, accessories or shoes, affix the label and ship as usual. Donations will be sent to the nearest participating Goodwill location—free of charge!
“The average American household has $7,000 of unused and unwanted items. The simple act of donating not only protects the environment, but it also helps to fund critical job training services,” said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. “When you donate to Goodwill via the Give Back Box platform, you help to strengthen families and your community at the same time.”
