The Fashion Foundation collects from major brands their unwanted samples, which otherwise would have ended up in the dump. It sells these goods and uses the profits to buy school supplies for kids. Founded by Amanda Munz at age 23, The Fashion Foundation has become a go-to charity for the industry.

Those samples piled up in company showrooms until, as an intern, I had to throw perfectly fine goods into dumpsters.
