Welcome to Mission Wear!

Started in 2006 by Beth McWhirter, Mission Wear is a non-profit organization that provides reusable grocery bags made from donated fabric, denim, and burlap coffee bags by women who are in recovery.

Passion for People and Upcycle

We have a passion to provide a place for women who are in recovery and need the opportunity to begin building their confidence and sometimes for the first time, a job history. We hire them because they have a past. Mission Wear is a safe place for women to re-enter the work place.

Mission Wear creates upcycled products such as reusable shopping bags for those who want to take personal action to be more environmentally conscious.

Without getting in your face, we want to help increase awareness about the importance of individuals incorporating reusable products into their daily lives; everyone can make a difference!


We believe that the environment needs better protection than we’re giving it. The United States goes through 100 billion plastic bags annually. These plastic bags do not biodegrade, but break down into smaller non-biodegradable particles. More Information >	We have made switching from paper and plastic to reusable easy for anyone who wants to make the change! Our reusable shopping bags are hand-machine-made of organic cotton, natural fibers, denim and canvas. More Information >	Since we’re a small non-profit, we can custom make any bags to fit retailer’s and individual’s needs for reusable/recycled products, and are open to creating new products tailored to the interests of our clients.
