Hilton Head Island Kicks Off Annual “Recycle Your Jacket” Initiative to Keep the Community Warm

Huddled on Hilton Head Island, community spirit is going to shine bright once again as locals gear up for the annual “Recycle Your Jacket” initiative. This beloved program, spearheaded by Outside Hilton Head, invites everyone on the island to dig into their closets and gather those gently used jackets, coats, and sweaters. It all kicks off on January 20, 2025, and runs until February 5, 2025.

Give a Little, Get a Little

Here’s how it works: You bring in your pre-owned winter apparel to the drop-off point at 50 Shelter Cove Lane, and in exchange for your generosity, you can snag a whopping 50% discount on new jackets or coats at the Outside Hilton Head store! Talk about a win-win situation.

39 Years Strong

This initiative has a long-standing tradition, celebrating its 39th year of operation. It began with a simple yet profound mission – to provide warm clothing for those in need during the chilly months. With every jacket donated, you’re helping to bridge the gap for neighbors who may struggle to afford appropriate winter gear.

Why Does This Matter?

During the winter, shelters often see an increase in demand for cold-weather clothing, and this program aims to meet that need head on. The Deep Well Project, which is the beneficiary of the jackets collected, has been a cornerstone of community support since 1973. With a focus on providing immediate assistance in emergency situations, the organization plays a vital role in helping residents regain stability and achieve self-sufficiency.

A Heartwarming Incentive

discount opportunity serves as an encouraging nudge. After all, you get to declutter your closet while supporting your neighbors – it’s a generous act that really gives back. Plus, there’s nothing like the satisfaction of knowing that your old jacket could help someone stay warm this winter.
