50 Years of Fashion

Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate 50 years of sustainable style throughout 2024! Buffalo Exchange started out as the original buy-sell-trade fashion shop in Tucson, AZ in 1974. Today, we have over 40 stores across the U.S. Without you, we couldn’t have grown from a 400 square foot shop to what we are today!

January Acts of Kindness

BE Albuquerque kicked off our 50 Acts with a donation drive for Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless. Then, we partnered with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for each reusable BE tote bag purchased. Cheers to all of you for helping us plant 5,000 trees! Finally, BE San Diego Hillcrest sponsored Argus at Frosted Faces (spoiler alert: he got adopted).

February Acts of Kindness

We spread the love in February with donation drives at BE Chicago Andersonville & BE Austin Guadalupe, a fundraising event for the The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center at BE Chelsea, a neighborhood cleanup at BE Portland Hawthorne & support for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County at BE Costa Mesa.

March Acts of Kindness

March started off in Texas with Buffalo Outlet San Antonio supporting wildlife rehabilitation. From March 11-17, we doubled down with double donations through our Tokens for Bags® program! Then, BE Phoenix supported the Arizona Community Tree Council and BE Las Vegas made their mark on the lives of those in need by donating period supplies to Project Marilyn.

April Acts of Kindness

April is the kindest month! We hosted our annual Earth Day $1 Sale to raise over $41,500 for Goats of Anarchy, plus BE Chicago Wicker Park hosted an event supporting local artists, BE Boston Brookline collected clothing for Second Chances, BE Seattle spread the love to our furry friends and BE Houston helped their local youth.

May Acts of Kindness

May the kindness be with you. It was sure with us, from donation drives at BE Sherman Oaks and BE HQ to a fundraising shopping event at BE Tempe, participating the New York Aids Walk at BE NoHo and, finally, sponsoring Flappy the Fur Seal at BE SF Haight.

June Acts of Kindness

BE Spokane kicked off June with a donation drive for Transitions. Meanwhile, BE Dallas donated pajamas, board books & more to Foster Village DFW. Wrapping up the month, volunteers from BE HQ visited the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, boxing over 2,000 food boxes for those in need!

July Acts of Kindness

July brought a fundraising shopping event for GLSEN at BE Melrose, plus BE Tucson sponsoring Ruby the bobcat and support for the League of Women Voters at BE SF Mission, Fairmount Park Conservancy at BE Philadelphia and Brooklyn Animal Action at BE Boerum Hill!

In August, BE Pasadena collected donations for Pasadena Humane, BE New Orleans hosted a voter registration booth with Bike N Vote, BE Tucson HQ hosted a yard sale where all the proceeds went towards the Pima Animal Care Center and, last but definitely not least, BE San Diego (Pacific Beach) donated to the San Diego Coastkeeper.

Time flies when you’re being kind! This month, that meant supporting those facing housing hardships at BE Richmond, migrants at BE Nogales and those facing food insecurity at BE Bellingham, plus a shopping event at BE Somerville to help the LGBTQ+ community.
