I was approached a month or so ago to do a pro-bono job for Paysage. It was the month that we were doing a promotion through the store that was called, "30 Days of Good Fortune".
We had asked our fans what they wished for from Paysage. Children at Heart, an adoption agency, replied back that they needed a chair for their meeting room for when they have support groups.
Light bulbs went off and we thought it would be a great idea to give them a chair plus an entire room of furniture that was more conducive for their needs.
We met with them right away and talked concept, colors, and function for the space. Soon after, we transformed the once dull conference room, to a happy comfortable area for the birth moms to meet and open up about their experiences. Fresh paint, a blend of neutral and bright colored upholstery, and realistic furniture helped to make this room the right fit for the work taking place within these walls.
I don't have to tell you how good it feels to be a part of giving something. Even if it is giving your time, the pay-off is endless.
I recommend finding something that is meaningful to you. The Children at Heart organization happened to be very meaningful to me because I'm adopted! If you do not know where to start looking for a charity to support, you can always google the terms local charities and awareness months.
October happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness month and we've donated a fabulous piece of PINK art to show our support, and if you shop with Paysage through the month of October, you will be supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month too because a percentage of your purchase will be donated.
We’d love to hear about the ways you give back- click her to post on our Facebook page or come visit us at the store!
