Mission Statement
Our mission is to reach every student in Kearny and make uniforms recyclable and available to all. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint by recycling viable textiles and diverting them from landfills. Our initiative not only provides essential resources to local families but also promotes sustainability by refurbishing old uniforms through sewing and sublimation. We also provide school supplies which has graduated to its own campaign now.
Description
In 2022, KNJ PS Uniform Exchange successfully assisted over 600 children with the uniforms they needed and distributed 37 free backpacks with school supplies. In the following year, 2023, we expanded our impact, helping more than 900 children with uniforms, distributing 332 free backpacks, and contributing 500 Chromebook earbuds to the Kearny, NJ Board of Education.
