Oldcrisis brings hope, style to Waltham Baptist Church community

Oldcrisis brings hope, style to Waltham Baptist Church community

Oldcrisis, a budding clothing brand celebrated for merging fashion with community impact, recently staged a charity event at Waltham Baptist Church bringing smiles, style, and support to families in keeping with the Yuletide.

According to a news release, the event, aimed at spreading joy and giving back, underscored the brand’s unwavering dedication to uplifting communities and creating meaningful connections.

CEO Carmelo Onfroy, alongside business partners Jordon Dennis and Tjay Francis, stepped outside of their roles as fashion innovators to host the event and distribute gift bags to children.

The bags, brimming with Oldcrisis-branded clothing, toys, and essentials, created what the team hoped were unforgettable moments for the young attendees, leaving parents and kids alike feeling seen and cared for.

“We wanted to celebrate the power of fashion and generosity,” said Onfroy. “At Oldcrisis, we believe in empowering people through clothing, and today was about making every child feel valued and special.”

The day included live music setting an upbeat tone, games kept the energy high, and delicious food brought the community together.

Yet the true highlight came with the distribution of Oldcrisis’s signature apparel — stylish T-shirts, cozy hoodies, and sleek jackets.

According to the release from the brand, the event, for many, wasn’t just about receiving new clothing, “it was about the deeper message of love and care behind the gesture”.

“Oldcrisis is more than a clothing brand,” shared Jordon Dennis. “It’s about building connections, giving back, and showing our supporters that they are appreciated. Today was all about creating lasting memories and positive vibes for the community that inspires us every day.”

Francis echoed the sentiment: “Fashion is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about how it makes you feel. Events like this remind us of the impact our brand can have, not just on wardrobes but on lives.”

Joey Bogdanovich, a passionate advocate for Oldcrisis’s charitable initiatives, though he was not present on the actual day of the event, was credited for his behind-the-scenes role in making the charity event a success.

According to the release, his “dedication and enthusiasm for giving back continue to shape the brand’s mission and amplify its impact, proving that true contributions often happen far from the spotlight”.

This charity event was another bold step in Oldcrisis’s journey to blend cutting-edge style with social responsibility. With plans to expand their community outreach, the brand remains committed to empowering underserved communities and inspiring change.

“We believe fashion has the power to do more than transform appearances — it can transform lives,” Onfroy added. “This event is a symbol of what’s to come, and we’re excited to continue making a difference in the communities that support us.”
