Clothing my three children can become quite expensive. Dealing with clothes that they have outgrown can be a nightmare. I waffle between donating their clothes and hoarding them for the next garage sale…either way the clothes pile up and drive me crazy!

I was recently introduced to Schoola, a website that solves three problems in one! It is seriously awesome!!! You can shop for gently used (and often name-brand) clothing at discounted prices, donate clothing in good condition that your children have outgrown, and earn money for your child’s school! Talk about killing three birds with one stone!

Shop for Gently-Used Clothes

Shopping on the Schoola website is super simple! Just choose the gender of your child from the top menu bar, then their age range from the left-hand menu, and then their specific size! You can also sort based on the brand, colors, and price range!

I personally prefer the loose or wide-leg Gap or Old Navy jeans for my boys, so I was able to narrow search results down to these two brands! Prices are not quite as low as what you might find at a garage sale, but they are certainly MUCH cheaper than you would pay in the store or even at a consignment sale. Shipping is currently free if you spend $25 or more!

Donate Clothing in Good Condition

Children seem to outgrow clothes so quickly. Schoola makes it SUPER easy to donate your clothes by sending you a pre-paid mailing envelope. Just pop your clothes in the envelope and send it off to Schoola! When the clothing sells, your child’s school will reap the benefits!

Earn Money for Your Child’s School

Schoola donates 40% of every single piece of clothing that you donate to the school of your choice! FORTY-PERCENT! That is just about the best return on investment that one can find for donated goods!

There are two ways to earn money for your child’s school through Schoola. One is by requesting a pre-paid mailing bag. All you have to do is pop your clothing inside and write the name of your child’s school, the city, and zip code on the envelope. Whenever your clothing sells, your child’s school will receive the credit!

The second option is to book a school-wide clothing drive! If you are part of a homeschool co-op or organization, you can contact Schoola at [email protected] to set up a special clothing drive for your organization.
