In a world where fast fashion dominates and consumerism often seems mindless, Found One Apparel stands out as a beacon of hope and action. In this way, their mission to reach the world for Jesus starts with a message through clothing that is used as a tool to spread the gospel. But, it doesn’t end there. God has laid it upon their hearts to keep going with a mindset of radical generosity.
Order a shirt from Found One Apparel, and they'll give one of their most popular designs, the “Dear God” shirt, to charity that helps people in need. It's a model of responsible consumption that allows you to feel good and look good while doing good.
The Problem
Lack of Basic Needs for Adults in the Dallas, TX area.
Millions of adults around the world struggle with poverty, often lacking access to even basic necessities like clothing. According to a recent article (Jan, 2024) from The Dallas Observer, author Jacob Vaughn states that in the Dallas and Collin Counties of North Texas alone,
”Last year’s count found 4,244 homeless people on the streets and in shelters.” -Jacob Vaughn, The Dallas Observer
The reality remains that a large number of adults in the region are without basic clothing, which can hinder their ability to secure employment and improve their living situations. Lack of appropriate attire can make it difficult for individuals to seek out opportunities and engage with the world around them, trapping them in a cycle of poverty.
The Found One Apparel Solution
A Shirt with a Purpose
That's where Found One Apparel comes in. They've created a business model that combines style and substance. Every item sold is more than just a piece of Christian clothing – it's a direct way to support those in need. When you purchase a "Day 41" sweatshirt, for example, the “Dear God” t-shirt is donated to a local charity helping people struggling with poverty. This allows you to make a meaningful impact with every Found One Apparel purchase you make.

The Power of Community
Found One Apparel believes in the power of community to drive positive change. When you shop with Found One Apparel, you're not just buying elevated Christian streetwear, you're joining a movement of compassionate consumers who are using their purchases to create real, tangible benefits for others. Every transaction becomes a step towards a more equitable and sustainable future, as individuals come together to support each other and local communities.
Impact
More Than Just Clothing
The impact of this goes beyond simply providing clothing. When people in need receive new, long lasting and well-fitting clothing with high-end fabric and feel, it can boost their confidence and self-esteem. When they receive the faith message each item gives, it can plant a seed of hope. This confidence and hope can be a catalyst for positive changes in other areas of their lives, such as securing employment or possibly pursuing further education. Additionally, adequate clothing is a basic necessity that allows people to participate fully in society. Having access to appropriate attire enables those in need to seek out opportunities and engage with the world around them without the added stress of feeling inadequately dressed. This mission is Matthew 6:28-30 in action - through you:
A Cascade of Good
Every purchase from Found One Apparel sets off a cascade of good that extends far beyond the initial transaction. From the moment you decide to shop with them to the final delivery of clothing to those in need, each step of the process involves individuals and organizations coming together to support one another. This collaborative effort highlights the interconnectedness of communities and the power of collective action. It shows that even the smallest actions can have far-reaching impacts when people come together to make a difference in Jesus’ name.
