Charles River Cares is our promise to give back to our communities, our people, and our planet. Every product we make and every partnership we form is guided by purpose. Being part of your story means standing for something bigger than ourselves.
It’s a commitment that runs deeper than words — one that reflects who we are as a third-generation, family-owned company. From the products we craft to the partnerships we build, caring is part of our daily rhythm.
We design for tomorrow by making thoughtful choices today. From using recycled materials to reducing waste, we’re always finding better ways to create with care.
We believe in showing up for the communities that shape us. Through volunteer work, donations, and local initiatives, we proudly support causes that make life better for others.
We’re accountable to the people who wear our apparel — and to those who help make it. Fair practices, respect, and care guide every step of our process.
Giving isn't a campaign, it's how we work.
Together, we’re building something that lasts — a ripple of good that starts here and spreads far beyond the river.
Caring is more than words. It is action. Whether we are packing school supplies, supporting clean water projects, or lending a hand to local shelters, we are always looking for ways to make a meaningful difference. Together with our employees, customers, and partners, we are building a culture of giving that lasts.
We cannot do this work alone. We are proud to partner with organizations like Charles River Watershed Association, Pets & People Foundation, Circle of Hope, and many more. Together, we create meaningful change where it’s needed most.
For over 20 years, Charles River Senior Advisor and longtime rider Barry Lipsett has proudly participated in the Pan-Mass Challenge, raising over $136,000 to support cancer research and care. Building on that legacy, in 2025 we joined as an official partner and sponsor of both the Pan-Mass Challenge and PMC Unpaved, continuing our shared commitment to this inspiring community and the fight against cancer.
Since 2021, we’ve partnered with the Charles River Watershed Association to protect and restore the river that inspires our name. Each year, our team comes together for the annual Earth Day Cleanup, and we’re proud to contribute funds and volunteer hours to support CRWA’s ongoing work in safeguarding clean water and healthy ecosystems for generations to come.
For more than 15 years, we’ve been honored to support Circle of Hope through clothing and financial donations, helping provide essential items to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Since 2010, we’ve donated more than $500,000 worth of apparel, helping ensure comfort and dignity for those in need throughout our community.
