hoodie drive grand finale | St. Anthony Foundation

Category: company news, events, hoodie people, hoodiesakio @ 9:33 am

The hoodiepeople.com hoodie drive has officially come to an end and we would like to say our thanks. A special thank you to St. Anthony Foundation, San Francisco. This foundation feeds over 1,500 hungry people a warm lunch everyday, offers clothing handouts, and provides a variety of social services to our city’s homeless population. It is a truly remarkable foundation and it just takes one trip down there to see how much their services are needed. The Foundation served as a channel for our donated hoodies to be delivered to the right people. Our hats are off to the staff over at St. Anthony. For real!

We would also like to thank everyone who donated a hoodie, and those who where involved in any kind of way. Without your help this drive wouldn’t have been possible and you made it a huge success. Week after week more hoodies were donated and our bins seemed to stay full. A big thanks to the team over at Triumph 4th Street in San Rafael, CA for providing space in their store for our hoodie drive.

As a result, we were able to donate a total of 94 warm hoodies straight from the community. Instead of staying packed away in the depths of our closets these hoodies will be keeping people warm at night and preventing illness. This has provided a unique sense of satisfaction for the team at hoodipeople.com and we are fired up about doing it bigger next year. We would also like to encourage you to continue donating. For more information about donating to the St. Anthony Foundation please visit their website: St. Anthony

hoodie drive is fresh

Category: company newsakio @ 9:18 pm

Our customers, brands, facebook and myspace followers, friends and family all say, “the hoodie drive is fresh!” So, in response to the overwhelming positive feedback and donations we have decided to extend our Thanksgiving Hoodie Drive until the end of december!

We now have a drop off box located at Triumph 4th Street in San Rafael, Ca. and one located at McAfee Inc. in Napa, Ca. In addition, you can ship directly to St. Anthony’s Foundation CHP 150 Golden Gate Ave. 94102 Attn: clothing.  These have been essential channels for us to make this drive possible and we are thankful. Thank you to all the people who have donated so far. Your single donations have added up and we know they will make a big difference. If you have any questions or need more information about donating please contact me at: akio@hoodiepeople.com
