Carry the Vision has grown to include Rooted, a social enterprise program offering reuse and recycling services for clothing and other household items.

Why choose Rooted?

  • Items are sorted for reuse and recycling to minimize landfill waste.

  • Donating to Rooted supports second-chance jobs for individuals who are starting fresh after incarceration.

  • 100% of donation revenue feeds back into our nonprofit programs.
