Good Vibrations’ GiVe Program Raises Over $28K

San Francisco, CA — Good Vibrations customers in the San Francisco Bay Area and Boston together raised $28,553 via the organization’s GiVe program from October 2019 through the first quarter of 2020.

GiVe, also known as Good Vibrations Gives Back, is the retailer’s program that uses the engagement of its customer base to drive donations to worthy nonprofits. The company passes 100 percent of the donated funds to each quarter’s GiVe recipients. Non-profits receiving funds are the SF Marin Food Bank, Alameda Food Bank, Second Harvest Santa Cruz, Second Harvest Silicon Valley and Rosie’s Place, the historic Boston, MA women’s shelter that also hosts a food bank.

“These funds were collected from our amazing customers that stepped up to help their community in need,” said Andy Duran, Good Vibes’ Education Director. “We’re so grateful we can serve as a vehicle for community fundraising and want to thank our customers for their continuous generosity. These organizations have been wonderful to work with and we are so honored to have partnered with them.”

Good Vibrations chose food banks for its 2019 fourth quarter GiVe recipients to address food insecurity around the holidays and were so gratified by the response that they continued to raise funds into the first quarter of 2020. Now, these important community resources are more vital than ever, as the COVID-19 pandemic affects jobs, household income and health. The Good Vibrations staff encourages those who can give to donate generously to these indispensable local resources — “We need to get through these tough times together,” the organization stated.
