Tuesday T-shirt Drive

Last year's week long T-shirt drive got Open Arms 350 T-shirts.
Could we beat this number in just 1 morning collection of T-shirts?

YES!!!
We collected 710 T-shirts this morning.
Way to go, BCE!!!
A whole minivan full of T-shirts:

BCE students learned that we can REUSE T-shirts!!!

Open Arms – a company with a conscience – was founded to employ refugee women living in Austin, Texas to help them break the cycle of poverty by earning a reasonable wage that enables them to support their families. 

Open Arms is on a mission to do it differently - creating awareness that everyday choices can change the world.

Open Arms reuses T-shirts to make beautiful skirts and scarves!
