Loop Local Origin Story

“Loop Local is for families like mine—who want to waste less, give more, and support the schools at the heart of our community.”
— Diana Bulloss, Founder of Loop Local

Hi, I’m Diana Bulloss, the Founder of Loop Local. I’m a Wake County public school parent, and like a lot of families, I’ve seen just how many needs our schools have. PTAs and PTOs work so hard to fill the gaps, and I wanted to do something to support them.

At the same time, I care about sustainability and wanted an easy way to buy secondhand clothes, shoes, and books for my son that felt good—both for the planet and our community.

I also had a growing pile of outgrown stuff and no idea what to do with it. Dropping it at a national thrift store didn’t feel great, and finding the time to take it anywhere meant it just sat in my car for weeks.

So I started Loop Local. It’s a simple way to donate right from your door, shop secondhand for your kids, and raise money for local schools and nonprofits. Less waste, more giving, all local.

  • Donate from your door.

    Like many families, you have children’s clothing, shoes, or books you don’t need anymore. Give them a new life while supporting Wake County schools and other children’s organizations in your community! Loop Local makes it easy by picking up your donations from your door for free.

  • Shop sustainably.

    Loop Local is the best way to buy children’s clothing, shoes, and books. A share of proceeds from every purchase goes to a PTA/PTO or nonprofit that supports children in Wake County - and YOU decide which organization benefits from your purchase. Save money, reduce waste, and support your community! We don’t have a brick and mortar shop - we’ll be popping up at vendor markets and holding fundraiser sales near you. We’re still building up our inventory and hope to announce our first event soon.
