One World Center is a Michigan non-profit organization with a mission to inspire and empower ordinary people to take action against worldwide poverty. We have 600 blue clothing collection bins, collecting textiles, shoes and clothing all over the state of Michigan. When you donate your clothes and shoes with us, you help fund One World Center programs that include training and sending volunteers to work at sustainable development projects in Central America and Southern Africa. Our clothing collection bins are found at private businesses, recycling centers and schools.

The clothes and shoes are collected by our drivers and brought to our warehouse in Taylor, MI. From there, they are bailed and packed and sent overseas to markets that really need these recovered resources like e.g. Nicaragua and Tunisia among other places.
