If you’re looking for a charity to donate to this holiday season (or recently cleaned out your closet and want to donate your hand-me-downs to a good cause), consider The Uniform Project. In May 2009, Sheena Matheiken pledged to wear the same dress every day for an entire year both as an exercise in sustainable fashion and as a fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that funds uniforms and educational supplies for children living in Indian slums. You can donate to the cause itself, or donate accessories (Sheena has 7 identical dresses, but reinvents the look daily with vintage or hand-me-down accoutrements).

Take a moment to check out the site; it’s pretty amazing.
