Quarter 3 Community Love Project

Our 3rd Quarter Community Love Giving Project is supporting the mission of Animals as Natural Therapy, ANT. They are working to improve mental and behavioral health through animal-guided programs and mentorship, with special attention to youth and veterans in Northwest Washington, believing that animals can reach a place in the human heart that other approaches may not.

Quarter 2 Community Love Project

Community care IS self care.

As individuals, we are only as healthy as the communities that we live in.

Each quarter we will be donating 1% of our gross profit to an organization that makes our community healthier by making it a more equitable and just.

Our 2nd quarter recipient is Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.

It is a critical time for many immigrants as they face unprecedented threats. Families are being torn apart by deportation. Asylum seekers fleeing violence are held behind bars in immigration detention centers. Undocumented victims of crime are scared to seek help. For over 35 years, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project has defended and advanced the rights of immigrants in Washington State.

Quarter 1 Community Love Project

When you come in to care for yourself, know that you are also caring for others through our Community Love Project. We are putting 1% of all profit right back into organizations that are making an impact.

This quarter’s recipient is Lydia Place, which serves over 300 families and individuals experiencing homelessness every year, right here in Whatcom County.

Lydia Place was established in 1989 by a task force of women who saw a need for a safe housing for women experiencing homelessness. The goal of the Transitional Housing Program (now called the Gladstone House) was to assist women in becoming self-sufficient and to offer a safe haven to families experiencing homelessness. With the help of many, the Transitional Housing Program facility was purchased and the first family moved in October 1989.

Today, Lydia Place has grown from an eight-bedroom single-family home to a full-service organization, one that now supports women, men, and families of all sizes and compositions. Today we serve over 150 families at a time, providing in-home parenting support, in-home mental health counseling, intensive case management, community building activities, and connections with a wide array of local partners. We have grown to embody the spirit of a healthy community, where every individual, family and child has the opportunity to thrive.
