April-June: 2nd Quarter Campaign for Fashion Revolution
Fashion Revolution is the world’s largest fashion activism movement, campaigning for a fashion industry that values people and the planet over profit and growth. This quarter at DarlingxDashing, we are thinking globally and acting locally by spreading awareness and creating lasting change for Fashion Revolution while taking action in our community.
Textile Recycling Program + Advocacy:
Every weekend through June, bring in your unusable and unwearable textiles to put in our Terra Cycle textile recycling box!
For more information about WHAT to bring in for textile recycling, and to sign our petition to bring permanent textile recycling to Charlottesville, check out the buttons below.
Our first Zero Waste Box is almost full. In order to purchase another one, we need your help! These recycling boxes cost over $400. Want to support this FREE recycling service for our community? Donate to our fundraiser on Venmo! Make sure to specify “textile recycling” in the description.

We give back quarterly to non profits. Because community is everything to us. For more about our fundraiser efforts and events, visit our fundraiser Instagram account (@darlingxdashing_auction) or click the link below to find out more on our Fundraiser page.
