Baby Clothing Drive at the Chicago Green Festival this weekend to benefit New Moms, Inc.

Good Karma Clothing for Kids will be accepting donations of baby clothes at Chicago Green Festival

Chicago, IL – April 30, 2012 Do you have a closet full of baby clothes that your little one has outgrown? Usable clothing belongs in circulation, and Good Karma Clothing for Kids would like to send your clothes to another family that needs them. So bring us a few pieces or bring a whole bag—we will make sure they find a good home.

Good Karma is a new subscription service that provides busy parents with hand-picked baby clothes that they exchange as baby grows. We source our inventory from parents like you who no longer need the clothing they own, and want to get it back into circulation. We only accept like-new items—nothing that is stained, ripped, has holes or is overly worn out.

As we normally pay for clothing we acquire, we’re paying New Moms, Inc. for every piece that we can accept into our inventory. The nicer the outfit, the more we pay—so help us reach out goal of $1,500 for New Moms, Inc. Anything that is in less-than-perfect condition will be donated to a charity for recycling or “upcycled” into other products, like baby bibs, quilts and hats.

It’s a win-win situation for parents who want to clean out their own closets and help other parents be green and save green. So stop by our booth in the Green Kids’ Zone to drop off your donations and learn more about our service. Even if your kids have outgrown our service, we offer gift certificates—they make a great green baby shower gift!
