To All my Sanctuary Peeps,
Happy Holidays!

It just so happens that one of my clients is an administrator/director over at the Preble Street Homeless Shelter.
When I spoke with her last she acknowledged that the shelter would be thrilled to receive donations of warm clothing, blankets, towels & toiletries. The wonderful thing about this is that it will be going directly to people in great need instead of being processed through a big system and sold at a thrift store sometime later.
I will be collecting any donations you wish to give when you are in Portland you can drop something off at our studio (Sanctuary Tattoo 31 Forest Ave, Portland) I will have set up a big box for any and all donations through the evening of Saturday December the 20th which will leave with my client for the holiday.

If you have any closets you've been meaning to clean out, or old clothes you've outgrown either physically or mentally, now is the perfect time to lighten your load and pass them on to someone who will really appreciate them.

I am excited to know that this small gesture can make a difference this winter for someone who could really use a dose of warmth on our subzero snowdays. Please join me & lets make a donation of warm things that is worth remembering!
Here is a more detailed list of items that are needed

SPECIAL SPIRIT OF GIVING OPPORTUNITY!!!

I love how things work out. I was just thinking that I wanted to donate a lot of the things I don't wear anymore but how I wanted it to go to people in need directly and not to be sold in a thrift store, but I wasn't sure where to go...and then I read this.
