This is what your purchase does.
Most brands make promises. We make receipts. Every order on this site funds real work on real streets — fighting trafficking, addiction, child abuse, and domestic violence in some of the hardest zip codes in America. Scroll down and see for yourself.
The numbers
These numbers come from boots-on-the-ground work funded in part by the gear you buy here. Houses that used to move dope now house people in recovery. Blocks where kids couldn’t play outside are coming back to life. That’s the mission your order joins.
How a t-shirt fights monsters
Monsters Apparel is a stand-alone brand with one job — funding the fight. Your purchases support the missions of We Fight Monsters, Flanders Fields, and other nonprofit efforts making American streets safer for kids, combating trafficking, ending child abuse, and standing against domestic violence.
You buy the shirt. We fund the rescues, the recovery beds, the survivor housing, and the operations that shut down the people preying on our communities. Simple as that.
Don't take our word for it
The mission we fund has been covered by some of the biggest shows and newsrooms in the country. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself.
