Welcome to the
socially responsible sweatshop
of Kent, Ohio

We are a 501c3 charitable organization consisting of all-volunteer members and dedicated customers. 

Visit us on Saturdays at the Haymaker Farmers' Market in Kent, Ohio to purchase our items, feed our hungry neighbors, and help Mother Nature, all with the very same dollars!

Our Mission Statement

The Socially Responsible Sweatshop of Kent is committed to repurposing donated landfill-destined textiles into useful, beautiful items. These items are lovingly crafted and priced affordably. All proceeds from the sale of these items are donated to provide extra funds for food-insecure community members. The volunteers of the SRS strive to be helpful to our brothers and sisters while demonstrating responsible stewardship of our Earth and the protection of the environment.

our vision Statement

The Socially Responsible Sweatshop of Kent extends our financial assistance to causes that we see fit, feasible, and in line with our Mission. We aim to refine and promote our grassroots business model to be an inspiration to others. We create education programs to teach both young and old how to use resources effectively and creatively.
