We Care Clothing Drive

As part of our ongoing efforts to keep Oakland clothed and reduce clothing waste, SNE Car es has partnered with the Sullivan Community Space (SCS) to provide community members with complimentary clothing.

This partnership reinforces our commitment to cultivating supportive environments where our communities can both give and receive. The Sullivan Community Space not only serves as a secure hub for the clothing drive but also emphasizes the importance of community arts, culture and engagement.

Our goal in partnership with SCS is to close the resource gap by not only offering a space for clothing donations but also creating a welcoming atmosphere for community members, while nurturing unity within our communities.

HOW IT WORKS:

Second-Hand Clothing Drives:

• Organize monthly events to collect and distribute second-hand clothing within the community.
• Encourage community members to contribute to sustainable practices by recycling and reusing clothing items.

Space for Community:

• Establish physical locations where community members can gather, interact, and engage in a variety of activities.
• Cultivate a sense of belonging and community pride by creating a welcoming environment.

Host Conversations:

• Arrange community discussions, forums, or panels to address local concerns and ideas.
• Encourage open communication to ensure that diverse voices are heard, considered and if needs are being met.

Express Gratitude and Share Love:

• Incorporate moments of appreciation during clothing drives to acknowledge the community's support and participation.
• Emphasize the importance of collective efforts in making positive changes.

Community Resources Provided

• Establish a resource center that offers essential services, information, and support to community members.
• Collaborate with local organizations to provide access to educational materials, job opportunities, and healthcare resources.

Cultivate Relationships and Bonds:

• Facilitate social events, workshops, and activities to strengthen connections among community members.
• Encourage collaboration and cooperation to build a sense of unity and shared purpose within the community.
