The Pass It On Clothing Initiative
Founded in 2016 by Chris and Olga Vagg, Pass It On Clothing began as a grassroots effort to support the homeless community in Sydney.
They started by collecting clothes from their friends and family, and distributing them to people sleeping rough in the CBD. Since then, they have grown to partner with major brands like Uniqlo, Academy Brand and now Mr. Fierze.
Mr. Fierze x Pass It On
Mr Fierze is proud to announce a partnership with Pass it On Clothing, a distinguished social enterprise dedicated to providing clothing and fostering connections for the homeless population in Sydney. Committed to our primary mission of outfitting gents from all walks of life, our collaboration with Pass It On Clothing is a natural and impactful extension of our sustainable efforts to ensure that everyone has access to clothing, particularly those experiencing homelessness.
What sets Pass It On Clothing apart, and resonates deeply with us, is their approach marked by humility in serving the homeless community. Unlike the conventional practice of indiscriminately bundling clothes into trash bags, Pass It On Clothing exemplifies a compassionate and dignified approach. They organize donations on accessible racks, allowing homeless individuals to personally select the items they need, promoting a sense of autonomy and dignity in the process.
“All I want you to do is engage with these people, they are all human beings” - Chris Vagg
