Smartie Pants was actually created through the act of giving. We gave to our girlfriends, then we gave to non-profit organizations. We believe in the greater good. We believe in the sense of community. We know it takes a colony of women to create a ripple in the community. We want to create a "giving ripple." Wanna ripple with us?
The non-profit organizations we are promoting and working with are doing amazing things. When Smartie Pants was an at home clothes swap we gave all the leftover clothes and accessories to Jubilee Women's Center and Eastside Domestic Violence. Both organizations provide safe environments for women to get back on their own two feet--they provide the space for empowerment.
The newest charity we are working with is Rising Out of The Shadows. This organization provides a safe and warm overnight shelter for homeless teens. I worked with them for 10 weeks while getting my bachelors at UW. I met some amazing teens and the experience changed me. I left there knowing that I would continue to work with this organization.
Check out the Charity Information section of our website for more information about each of these wonderful organizations doing very important work.
We hope to provide them with 100's of clothing items for as long as needed. We hope people will support these charities by volunteering, giving cash donations if they can and by sharing each of their missions with their friends and family. It doesn't cost a penny to share.
At Smartie Pants we believe change starts with giving. We hope you'll give by supporting our event and our charities.
Give something, we promise it'll make you feel good. :)
Happy Giving!
