Pass it on Clothing & Co Local Sydney Charity with DGR providing clothing + connection to those experiencing homelessness.

Pass it on Clothing & Co is a registered Australian Charity with DGR status based in Sydney which puts your apparel, shoes and accessories donations directly in the hands of those who need it most.

Founded in September 2016 by Chris Vagg and Olga Puga, Pass it on Clothing & Co has been instrumental in providing quality men’s and women’s clothes donations to Sydney’s homeless community, working to make charitable clothes giving more direct, efficient and effective.

The idea for Pass it on Clothing & Co stemmed from a house move for Chris and Olga and a resulting wardrobe cull. Many of the pieces to be thrown away were expensive and near new and needed to be given a new appreciative owner.

Chris began researching traditional charities and was struck by the fact only 0.5% of donated clothing was directed to welfare. The other 99.5% are the best clothes, kept and sold in charity stores, many are cut up into rags or sent overseas for resale.

This sparked the idea of taking clothing directly to Sydney’s homeless and disadvantaged community by setting up a free clothes service. Pass it on Clothing & Co takes clothing donations directly to those doing it tough, allowing people to visit and select new clothing directly.

Olga, as a professional stylist, offers compassion and support when helping people select the wardrobe pieces.

Pass it on Clothing & Co offers this service free of charge.

Pass it on Clothing & Co has now provided over 350,000 pieces of clothing to those experiencing homelessness over the last 9 years at more than 1000 outreach services.

The benefits are truly positive, not only physically, but by also impacting the self-esteem and self-worth of the recipients.

The next step for Pass it on Clothing & Co is to provide a pathway out of homelessness into sustainable private employment + housing via The Pass it on Academy.

I hope you slept well last night 🤦‍♂️

Hundreds of people across our city needed somewhere safe and dry as that storm hit.

Opening just one suitable, unused government building with toilets, staff and basic support would have given people somewhere to shelter.

Instead, hundreds spent the night in soaking wet clothes, with nowhere to change and no way to get dry?

Over the coming days and weeks, some may need emergency care as existing health problems worsen or new ones develop.

People who needed shelter could end up needing a hospital bed.

Our emergency departments are already stretched.

So are the people working in them.

Leaving people outside doesn’t make their needs disappear.

It means those needs can become more urgent, more complicated and harder to address.

The knock-on effects of government inaction reach right across the community.

At Pass It On, we can offer dry clothing and connection, but we need our government to provide somewhere safe for people to go.

A roof before a hospital bed.

Surely that’s worth acting on?

Torrential rain at Central tonight and still the queue stretched down the walkway.

People waiting for clothing, a friendly face and a bit of support to get through another tough night.

For most of us, weather like this means getting home and shutting the door.

Imagine having no door to shut.

Nowhere dry to change.

No certainty about where you’ll sleep.

That’s why we keep showing up.

We’ll head home after this, but too many of the people we’ve spent tonight with don’t have that option.

That should never be something we get used to.

One pack for you. Two packs for our homeless friends.

This November, our mates at Academy Brand are doubling their Un**es for All donation. For every pack of un**es purchased, they’ll donate TWO packs to Pass It On.

Fresh underwear is something most of us barely think about.

But when you’re sleeping rough, a clean pair means comfort, confidence and a little dignity in a day that can be bloody tough.

Academy Brand have been alongside us for nine years, and have already donated more than 7,500 pairs of underwear.

This is another practical way they’re helping us look after people doing it tough.

Grab a pack online or at your nearest Academy Brand store this November.

You’ll be helping us put fresh un**es directly into the hands of people who need them.

Our monthly Redfern outreach tonight, before the rain set in.

Time to browse the racks, find a pair of shoes that fits and choose clothes you actually want to wear.

Choice matters.

So does having someone take the time for a chat.

Thanks to everyone helping us keep showing up. ❤️

This is what showing up looks like.

The ute parked beside Central.

Bags of clothing ready to go.

People waiting for a fresh change of clothes and a chat.

We’d love a world where nobody needed to line up on a footpath for the basics.

Until then, we’ll keep being there.

Taking the time to help someone find their size.

Something they like.

Something they feel good wearing and making sure there’s a friendly face to go with it.

Thank you to our volunteers, brand partners and everyone who helps us get clothing directly into the hands of people doing it tough.

EP063: Walker to Depart Bondi?

Rugby league, the gift that keeps on giving!

Despite the NRL season wrapping up, the talking points never stop. Sam Walker could be on his way out of the Sydney Roosters, whether that’s ahead of the 2027 season or the year after. Transfer rumours are also swirling, with Raider Hudson Young hitting the open market and Panther Liam Martin potentially heading to Canberra.

Presto and Intern also dive into the RLWC, discussing whether the tournament’s growing list of blowout scores is good for the future of international rugby league.

Special thanks to our friends at FDS Eyewear - Wentworthville Plaza, The legal problem solver and Pass it on Clothing & Co

Nine years alongside Academy Brand and still going strong.

When you’re a small charity, having people stick with you year after year means a lot.

From clothing donations, support of our XMAS Gifting campaign, a foundation donation box and our Un**es for All collaboration, the Academy Brand team have helped us put quality clothing and fresh underwear into the hands of people doing it tough.

A clean pair of un**es is something most of us barely think about.

But when you’re sleeping rough, having a fresh pair to put on matters.

It’s comfort, confidence and a little dignity to start the day.

Behind this donation box is a relationship built over nine years, and a team who continue to care about the people we meet each week.

To everyone at Academy Brand, thank you for backing us and helping us keep showing up.

Proud to have you in the Pass It On family.
