How can I donate fatigues?
Used fatigues were the inspiration for Celebrate Fatigues after my husband couldn’t find a reassuring way to dispose of his Army uniforms. I learned that nearly 200,000 veterans leave the service each year – and they have multiple sets of fatigues, which means more than a million fatigues are stored or need to be disposed of annually. We don’t want them to end up in a landfill.
Our intent is to recycle, remember, and honor the men and women who have worn these fatigues in service to our country. They continue to deserve the same respect they held while being worn.
