This is a partnered post with Hanes to bring awareness to the Give Back Box initiative.
There are many ways to get involved on Earth Day to show your support for environmental protection. I absolutely love this Earth Day project with Hanes and Give Back Box that will give brand new life to your old clothing and shoes. This Earth Day, join Hanes and do what you can to help reduce, re-use and recycle. Hanes has partnered with Give Back Box® to make it easier for you to give life to the clothes and shoes you don’t want anymore. They will be donated to help those who are less fortunate and in need. In addition, for every box of outerwear you donate to Give Back Box, Hanes will donate new underwear.
How Does Give Back Box Work?
Donate your unwanted outerwear (think clothing and shoes), and Hanes will take care of the underwear (up to 1,000 packages). All donations go to nonprofits to help those in need.
- Pack up your outwear, like clothing and shoes in any shippable box.
- Download, print and attach your prepaid shipping label (U.S. only). This is free to you!
- Ship it out and get a Hanes discount (via email for 20% off).
It’s really that easy, y’all!
I know that my kids usually outgrow clothes before they even begin to show signs of wear. I think it would be a great teaching moment to be able to go through your child’s clothing that they’ve outgrown and tell them that they are doing something really special by donating to other children in need.
Our children need to learn from a young age how to give back and how to care for those less fortunate than they are. What a great example we can set by partnering with Hanes and Give Back Box this Earth Day.
Can we count on your help with Earth Day?

I love this idea SO MUCH. I was just telling my hubby that I needed to clean out my closet and now I am going to do this with some of the stuff I find.

I love this idea so much! One of the keys to being kind to the planet is to give away things that we don’t use so that others can use them. Hoarding is bad for the earth!
Vera Sweeney says
This is so great! I have been instilling a sense of giving in my kids since they were tiny little. I think it’s important for them to recognize the value of that. This is something that we will most definitely be taking part in.
Colleen Lanin says
I have to do this! My family has so much clothing that we never wear.
Meagan says
This sounds like a great way to give back. Even without the discount it is a great idea.
Tracey says
This is such a great idea. Not only are you giving back but you are teaching your kids the importance of being kind to the earth.
Melissa says
We all need to appreciate the need to recycle and give back as much as possible. This cause does both and Hanes should be commended.
Maureen says
This is a really great concept and I love that Hanes is taking the initiative to do this. Will share the post to get the word out.
Pam says
I think that giving back is so important. This is a great initiative.
Jeanine says
I have to do this ASAP. My kids are growing like weeds, I’m flip floppin with post baby weight. We have tons we could give away and I think this is great!
My Teen Guide says
My kids have a box where they put clothes that no longer fit them. Usually, this gets donated regularly to charitable institutions. I love this initiative by Hanes. It sure would teach the kids how to be compassionate towards others in need.
Jocelyn says
I have not heard of this program. I love brands that give back. I do need to clean our closet so this is a great idea to give back!
Shannon Gurnee says
This sounds like an awesome project! Thanks for sharing. I’ll check it out.
Louise Bishop says
This is such a neat idea! Bravo to Hanes for this focus!
Adrianne says
Wow, I’m honestly impressed with this idea! They’re giving themselves a great name!
Kita Bryant says
Earth Day is the perfect day to reevaluate your recycling habits! This is one people don’t often think about!
Kiwi says
What a beautiful initiative from Hanes and get a discount. I like that they have prepaid labels for shipping!
Kelly Hutchinson says
I am so excited about this! My son just brought me a pile of shirts he grew out of. This would be perfect for him to take part in.
