Our Social Fabric (OSF) is Vancouver’s only non-profit textile recycling organization. We have been in operation since 2009 with a mission to eradicate textile waste from landfills. We receive donations of textiles and sewing-related supplies from individuals, manufacturers, designers, and the film industry. Our powerful team of volunteers then processes the donations for sale at amazing prices through our retail shop and online store.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
