Good Clothes Good People (GCGP) was founded in 2017 by Robert Blake Watson and other college students who aimed to provide adequate basic needs resources to students in need. Utilizing nationally-acclaimed visual arts Programs, GCGP aims to use artistry and other creative methods to reinvent donations to create attractive spaces that are used to collect basic needs items for redistribution to students.
Good Clothes Good People currently serves the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) by operating UCLA’s Basic Needs Redistribution Center. Working at the intersection between sustainability and accessibility, our distribution centers rely solely on student labor; volunteers manage and sort donations, collaborate with other student groups, and distribute donations to the community while encouraging and teaching students how to lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
These donations won’t leave their communities. Partnering with larger charitable organizations and running UCLA’s Basic Needs Redistribution Center, 100% percent of our donations (that’s right, ALL of our donations) stay local.
