BLK dating app launches #ItsGivingSZN: Turning heartbreak (and hoodies) into warmth this holiday season
In partnership with Planet Aid, BLK invites singles to donate their ex’s hoodies to support sustainability and global communities while starting fresh with a new BLK hoodie.

BLK, the No. 1 dating and social app for Black singles, is teaming up with Planet Aid, a nonprofit organization dedicated to sustainable clothing reuse, to launch #ItsGivingSZN, a playful yet meaningful campaign that transforms post-breakup blues into opportunities for giving back.
BLK X Planet Aid ItsGivingSZN
Hoodies, often treasured tokens of love during relationships and lingering reminders after breakups, are at the heart of this initiative—encouraging singles to donate these emotional keepsakes to support sustainability and global communities in need.
Donate
With December 11—famously known as “National Breakup Day”—just around the corner, BLK and Planet Aid are inviting singles to donate their ex’s hoodies (and other clothing items) to support global communities in need while making space for fresh starts. Whether through in-person drop-offs at branded bins or via BLK’s new online donation portal, #ItsGivingSZN makes it easier than ever to turn heartbreak into a force for good.
A Planet-Powered Partnership
The partnership with Planet Aid brings a powerful purpose to this initiative. As a nonprofit focused on clothing reuse and sustainability, Planet Aid ensures that all donated items are repurposed responsibly to reduce textile waste and support communities worldwide.
Every hoodie donated helps Planet Aid continue its mission of protecting the environment and improving lives through programs in education, health, and sustainable development.
“Planet Aid is the perfect partner for #ItsGivingSZN,” said Jonathan Kirkland, Head of Brand and Marketing at BLK.
“Not only are they leading the charge on reducing textile waste, but they’re also making a meaningful impact in communities around the world. Together, we’re turning something as simple as an old hoodie into a powerful act of giving.”
How #ItsGivingSZN Works
- Donate In-Person or Online: Starting December 11, singles can drop off their ex’s hoodie clothing at BLK x Planet Aid branded donation bins in major cities throughout the US (Find a Bin)—or use BLK’s online donation portal to ship their items from anywhere in the U.S.
- Receive a Fresh Fit: Donors will receive a new BLK hoodie as a thank-you for their generosity.
- Support Sustainability: All donated items will be repurposed by Planet Aid to benefit global communities and reduce environmental waste
