About Pass it on Clothing & Co

Pass it on Clothing & Co is a social enterprise and registered charity based in Sydney, Australia, founded in 2016 by Chris Vagg and Olga Puga to provide “clothing + connection” to people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage. The organisation collects donations of apparel, shoes and accessories and runs regular outreach services across Greater Sydney where people can choose free, good-quality clothing in a dignified, boutique-style setting. It also partners with brands and corporates (such as UNIQLO and Academy Brand) and operates clothing bins and retail-style initiatives to support both a circular economy and its outreach work.

A charge from Pass it on Clothing & Co on a bank or card statement is most likely related to a monetary donation (one-off or recurring), a corporate or workplace subscription clothing bin program, the purchase of merchandise or fundraising products (for example, “Undies For All” packs or branded caps), or tickets and entries to charity events and activations. Businesses engaging them for corporate social responsibility programs or educational experiences may also see Pass it on Clothing & Co as the billing entity on invoices or card payments. Because they now operate as a registered charity and public benevolent institution with deductible gift recipient (DGR) status, many of these payments may be tax-deductible donations rather than standard retail purchases.

If someone doesn’t recognise a Pass it on Clothing & Co charge, they should first check recent donations (including via links from social media or Linktree), fundraising event registrations, merchandise purchases, or any corporate engagement their employer may have arranged. Receipts are typically issued via email at the time of donation or purchase, so searching email (including spam folders) for “Pass it on Clothing & Co” can help locate details. For clarification or refund requests, cardholders can contact the organisation through the email and social links listed on their Linktree page, quoting the date, amount and last four digits of the card used. If a charge still appears unfamiliar after contacting them, the cardholder should follow up with their bank to dispute or block further transactions.
