Community Giving Program
Help buy Refills for a local Transitional Shelter
In a time of crisis for the unhoused, it can be really frustrating to see so little being done.
It's why we love the We Shine Community Village at Parkrose... and now WeShine has opened up 2 other villages: Avalon Village in Hosford/Abernathy Neighborhood &
soon to open... St. Andrews Village in St. Johns, in North Portland.
It's been so inspiring watching it come together over the last few years. Here were people actually doing something to help. How amazing!
We were excited when WeShine reached out to us about providing refills to their community village. They wanted to use their hygiene budget to support a local sustainable business rather than a big box corporate nightmare.
So they help us by buying our products and making sure their money stays local. We help them by providing our high quality, sustainable shampoo, conditioner, body soap, dish soap, and laundry detergent to their communal areas with no waste.
You can help us both by buying it for them! (Click here to Learn more )
Help a food pantry stretch a dollar
As we know, donating hygiene and home cleaning goods to food pantries plays a vital role in addressing needs beyond food insecurity and improving the overall well-being of individuals and families as well increases efficiency for the food pantry.
Many food banks are already equipped to handle and distribute hygiene and cleaning supplies.
Donating these items can support their existing operations and broaden their impact beyond providing just food!
One of our goals, is to make our REFILL service accessible to everyone.
Did you know our "grab n go's" are often donated to a food pantry or human need organization?
Our most recent donated items were given to a PSU student gathering items for Urban League's Project Haven.
Our products will distributed throughout the program, mainly for home cleaning kits!
Other food pantries and community organizations we have donated to in the past have been SnowCap Charities (and Metropolitan Family Services.)
We are always looking for additional Partners. So let us know if you know of one.
