It began the implementation of 12 new collection points in nine communities throughout Kennebec and Somerset counties.#
At these collection points, members of the local community may off any unwanted textile item at no cost. Clothing, bedding, towels, bags, purses, shoes, hats and much more can all be placed within the collection bins and therefore be kept out of the local landfill.
Apparel Impact then collects these items and ensures that items in usable condition are donated to those in need right here in Northern New England.
