Too often life gets in the way of charity. Old clothes pile up in the back of closets or garages waiting to be donated, but what if there was an easier way to give back and make space?
One woman is on a mission to revolutionize charitable clothing donation. Monika Weila created Give Back Box, a nonprofit organization that turns ordinary cardboard boxes into shippable donation containers.
"One day I was walking, and I saw a homeless person sitting on the street, holding a sign which said, 'I need shoes.' And I had this feeling like I'm supposed to do something about this," Weila told NowThis.
All it takes is printing out a pre-paid shipping label, attaching it to a standard cardboard box, and sending it in the mail like normal. Give Back Boxes ship directly to charitable outlets such as Goodwill and Salvation Army around the country.
