Mission

We are a social enterprise in Springfield, Missouri. Our brand, 5 Pound Apparel, provides five pounds of food and nutritional treatment to malnourished children in Nepal - a donation equaling 50% of our profits. Every brand we carry provides some sort of aid to people in need.

What We Do

Through the brands in our store our goal is to provide a sustainable stream of support to various non-profits. Everything we carry gives back to a charity in a unique and meaningful way. In our first year we have been able to provide the following support to non profits all over the world:

900 books to Books for Africa (Out of Print Clothing)
3,500 lbs of food and treatment to Nepal Nutrition (5 Pound Apparel)
$3,250 to Convoy of Hope for the Joplin tornado
Over $1,000 to various charities locally
School meals for a year for 17 students in Africa (Feed Projects)

Our goal for 2012 is to expand the reach of 5 Pound Apparel which will ultimately provide more support to these organizations. We will do so by 1. expanding and improving our online store, www.5poundapparel.com and 2. begin wholesaling 5 Pound Apparel to various retailers which will increase our donations and raise awareness for the brand.
