Giving Back to Community

We support the following non-profit organizations:

In December, we made charitable contributions to the Humane Society and to the YWCA downtown women’s shelter.  The women’s shelter needs business clothing in fair condition, that women can wear to job interviews.  Consider making a donation of clothing by de-cluttering your closet of clothing you no longer want.  If you haven’t worn it in a year, you probably won’t.

If you love animals, consider making a donation to the Humane Society and/or adopt a pet.  My creative director, Archie (seen on the creative director tab) was adopted last year after I lost my Niki to cancer.  Archie was cat number 41 from a hoarding home.  He was seized by the City of Seattle Shelter where he lived for several months, until I found him.  He is the most loving cat and very smart.  He has been a welcome addition to our home and get’s along with Ivy brilliantly.

This November, we supported the Puget Sound Energy Program’s Warm Fund.  The Warm Fund provides funding for individuals and families that cannot afford to pay their heating bills.  No one should have to be cold, especially in the winter months.

In 2010 we donated two hours of cleaning time to the Bright Water School Auction, two hours of cleaning time to the YMCA Kids Program fundraiser and one hour of cleaning time to Friends of Animals in West Seattle.

I collaborated with Cool Moms and the West Seattle Community at Bridge Park Retirement Home in West Seattle.  See press tab for the full article and recipes for making your own cleaning products.

Our goal for 2011 and beyond is to provide discount services for seniors, disabled and low-income families.  Contact me for more information.

In 2010, we collected donations for Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission.  The Mission is preparing for the holiday season now.  According to the President of the Mission, “We will serve more than 34,800 meals in November alone.”  Each meal costs $1.92 to serve.  This holiday season will be harder than ever because many have been devastated by the poor economy and high price of food and gas.  When the homeless walk into the dining rooms of the Mission, “their minds and hearts open to the hope and help that we offer”, said Lilley, President of the Mission.  For over 79 years, Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission has been depending on the community for support.  A warm meal means so much to those who have little.

Did you know that a gift of $19.20 will feed 10 men, women and children this season?  Consider Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission and visit www.UGM.org for more information.  Thank you.

If you would like me to visit to your group or organization for a demonstration of how you can make your own cleaning products, contact us.  This is a great way to get your kids involved in sustainable alternatives to chemical cleaning.
