HILTON HEAD, S.C. (WSAV) -- Donate your gently used outerwear to a good cause on Hilton Head Island.
The annual "Recycle Your Jacket" initiative by Outside Hilton Head is collecting jackets, coats and sweaters to The Deep Well Project. These items can be dropped off at 50 Shelter Cove Lane, from January 20, 2025, through February 5, 2025.
Now in its 39th year, "Recycle Your Jacket" helps those who may not have access to warm clothing during the cold months.
“During the winter season, we believe that everyone should be equipped to face the cold and
we know that not everyone has those resources. We want to help bridge that gap in our
community,” said Mike Overton, Founder and CEO of Outside Brands. “Although we give a
discount in our store for donating to Recycle Your Jacket, the main goal of this initiative is to get
members of our community to give back to those in need here in Hilton Head.”
Those who donate towards the program are eligible for up to a 50% discount on a new jacket or coat from the Outside Hilton Head store. Cold weather clothing is a common item that shelters are constantly in need of, so donations like these are crucial at this chilly time of year.
A predominantly volunteer-based non-profit, The Deep Well Project has been helping neighbors in need since 1973. This organization helps people in emergency situations by giving them an immediate hand-up so that they can continue to help themselves.
