CHaRM’s Onsite Nonprofit Partners
America's Thrift Stores
Trying to find a new home for your clothes and textiles? CHaRM is here to help! We take the used clothes and textiles that are dropped off at our facility and repurpose as much as possible by giving to America’s Thrift Stores. America’s Thrift Stores relies on the donations of the local community to collect used clothing and household items. They resell those items and share their profits with local organizations like Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). Used textiles that cannot be resold are repurposed into insulation, dog beds or rags.
In 2021 alone, CHaRM collected more than 79.4 tons of textiles through America’s Thrift Stores.
Gift of Music Foundation
Kids lost interest in their musical instruments? Bring them to CHaRM and we will make sure that they find a good home! We partner with The Gift of Music Foundation to clean up and refurbish used instruments. The Gift of Music Foundation then takes the instruments and gives them to local children who may not otherwise be able to afford them. The Gift of Music Foundation also uses the instruments in their After School Music Enrichment Programs.
In 2021 alone, CHaRM collected more than 507 musical instruments that have been given to The Gift of Music Foundation!
Recycle for Good
Novelis is the leading producer of flat-rolled aluminum products and the world’s largest recycler of aluminum. They work alongside their customers to provide innovative solutions to the aerospace, automotive, beverage can and specialty markets. Novelis developed the Recycle for Good program that joins forces with groups like CHaRM to collect aluminum cans. The proceeds from recycling these donated cans goes to Habitat for Humanity and funds Atlanta Habitat houses. CHaRM is working with Recycle for Good to try to recycle 100,000 pounds of aluminum in 2021.
Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta
Got a used mattresses? No problem! CHaRM takes your old mattresses and then partners with the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta to redistribute the mattresses to disaster areas. Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta takes the used mattresses, dismantles them, sanitizes them and then re-stuffs the mattresses to make them as good as new! In 2019, more than 1500 mattresses donated by CHaRM were given to families that lost their homes in the California wildfires and hurricanes in the Gulf Coast.
In 2021 alone, CHaRM collected more than 1727 mattresses that have been given to the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta!

Free Bikes 4 Kidz (FB4K)
Old bikes gathering dust in the garage? CHaRM can help with that too! We take your old bikes and give them to Free Bikes 4 Kidz (FB4K).FB4K is a non-profit organization geared toward helping all kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing bikes to those most in need. CHaRM donates gently used bikes and FB4K organizes volunteers to clean and refurbish them to give way to kids in need.
