Your Purchase Powers Change
The Triple Bottom Line Section
One Purchase. Three Impacts.
👕 Meet the Need
The #1 need expressed by foster youth? Affordable clothing. ReMade addresses this head-on by redistributing quality clothing and creating products that fund our community programs.
🌍 Heal the Planet
- 11.3 million tons of textile waste hit U.S. landfills annually
- California alone: 1.2 million tons costing $99M in disposal
- Clothing takes 200 years to decompose
- Plush toys take 500 years
Our products are made from recycled materials that would otherwise take centuries to break down.
💼 Build Futures
ReMade provides pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships for foster youth in the circular economy—one of the fastest-growing job sectors. Real skills. Real wages. Real careers.
How It Works Section
From Waste to Wonder
Step 1: Collect
We partner with brands, municipalities, and the public to collect textiles and plush toys that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Step 2: Transform
Foster youth sort, process, and remanufacture materials into new products at our LA facility, gaining job skills and earning wages.
Step 3: Impact
Every purchase funds workforce development, diverts waste, and supports iFoster's mission to serve every youth in the child welfare system.
