The Community Box: Homelessness Edition
Three Community Creators who are currently overcoming homelessness created tote bags with designs that are meaningful and personal to them as part of our second Community Box.
Note: As of November 15, 2020, The Community Company has terminated its partnership with the Creator of the frog tote bag.
Design Inspiration (Left to Right)
Frog tote bag: “I created a design that represents my pride and not wanting others to see the struggle that I keep in myself. We all have a prince in our frog, but sometimes you have to kiss the frog more often than others.”
Jillian: “I wanted to have flowers because they represent growth and they are beautiful. The wilted flower (on the back) symbolizes my homelessness and how I felt when I lost everything. The healthy flower symbolizes strength and the words represent what I’m putting into myself.”
Hawke: “It symbolizes the way I’ve lived. Sometimes you just want to do something for yourself and there will be a hand to help you up. But often, that same hand will drop you the next day and leave you back where you started. Don’t discriminate and listen to the whole story.”
