Carry the Vision has grown to include Rooted, a social enterprise program offering reuse and recycling services for clothing and other household items.

Why choose Rooted?

• Items are sorted for reuse and recycling to minimize landfill waste.

• Donating to Rooted supports second-chance jobs for individuals who are starting fresh after incarceration.

• 100% of donation revenue feeds back into our nonprofit programs.

Estate Clearing & Junk Removal Services

Rooted provides full-service estate clearing and junk removal. Whether you’re downsizing, handling a loved one’s estate, or simply needing to clear space, our team takes care of the heavy lifting with dignity and care.
