Much like the Foundation itself, New Love’s secondhand children’s clothing stores rely largely on the generous support of many in order to succeed in their mission. New Love partnered with several New York City private schools to secure much of its inventory of newborn through size 12 clothing for its stores by receiving clothing and apparel collected during annual public school clothing drives. All of the proceeds received go right back into the operation of the business.
We strongly encourage families to get involved by donating softly-worn children’s clothing and footwear to New Love or by getting your local public or private schools to hold annual clothing drives to donate to the Foundation. The more avenues for donations we can secure, the more we will be able to continue our mission of helping the families of Belize to achieve a better way of life and a fruitful tomorrow.
Another way our stores help the community is by offering employment to local men and especially women who are unable to get jobs otherwise, due to a lack of sufficient experience. While employed with us, we ensure that every employee gains experience in each department of the business, which allows them to either grow with us as we expand, or venture to other occupational opportunities. We believe that the skill-sets they have learned with us can be applied to other jobs, creating a well-rounded and valued employee.
