Our Social Fabric (OSF) is Vancouver’s only non-profit textile recycling initiative that has been in operation since 2009 in Vancouver, BC. OSF is run by a small but passionate volunteer Board. We receive donations of textiles, fabric and sewing related supplies from the film industry, theatre, manufacturing, estate closures together with home sewers and artists. Our team of volunteers sort through the donations and offer them back to the community at drastically reduced prices.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR SOCIAL FABRIC: The month of March has been a turbulent one and the world is coming to terms with the impact and spread of the COVID-19 virus. Our Social Fabric is following the guidelines as set out by the Government of Canada’s recent posting on “Risk-informed decision-making for mass gatherings during COVID-19 global outbreak“. We have cancelled all sewing workshops for the month of March together with the Sale Event scheduled for March 29th. We regret any inconvenience but it is absolutely necessary for us to exercise social distancing now and take the necessary precautions to slow the spread of the virus. Please check our website and our social media platforms for updates. We will continue to accept your donations of fabric and sewing related supplies – please e-mail our Donations Coordinator (osfdonations@gmail.com) to book a drop-off time. Thank you all for your continued support!
