Gaiam Gives Back: From inner-city schools to homeless shelters to hospitals, Gaiam has donated yoga mats, fitness tools, Balance Ball chairs, bedding, water bottles, cleaning supplies, solar-powered gadgets and more to those in need in Colorado (where Gaiam's headquarters are located) and other states throughout the U.S.
"Gaiam gives several donations every week," says staffer Kate Weaver. "It's heart-warming to see how many different organizations we are able to reach."
Some of the groups and organizations Gaiam has donated to include nursing homes, assisted living facilities, military personnel, private and public schools, athletic events, Girl Scout troops, daycare centers, nurses, occupational therapists, summer camps, health and wellness conferences, animal rescue groups, cancer research programs, yoga centers, special needs organizations and nonprofits.
Examples of ways Gaiam gives back are:
- Annual Tree Giving: During the holiday season, Gaiam employees purchase gifts for local children and seniors in need through the City and County of Broomfield's Holiday Giving Tree. So far, Gaiam employees have given hundreds of gifts to those in need.
- Yoga Mats to the Navy: Gaiam sent yoga mats to a military and civilian team helping with reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. The yoga equipment was added to the team's small gym to help promote health and wellness for the military personnel.
- Supplies to Haiti: Gaiam donated 200 yoga mats as well as solar-powered radios and flashlights to those left homeless by the earthquake in Haiti. In addition, the company worked with Ohio-based Matthew 25 Ministries to donate more than 50 pallets of goods worth almost $175,000 from the Gaiam Distribution Center to the ministries' Haiti relief efforts.
- Supplies to Tornado Victims: Gaiam employees donated bedding, personal care products, toys, clothing and other items as well as money and gift cards to tornado victims in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and paid to ship the boxes to aid workers in the southern state.
- Thanksgiving for the Poor: Donating hundreds of turkeys to the Denver Rescue Mission, Gaiam helps provide Thanksgiving meals to the poor and homeless in the Denver area.
- School Supply Drive: Every September, Gaiam staffers contribute fully-stocked backpacks to the Crayons to Calculators school supply drive, which provides backpacks to children in need to start their school year off right. Not only do Gaiam's employees donate cash, backpacks and school supplies, but they also have the opportunity to take paid time off to volunteer for the event stuffing and delivering the backpacks to local schools.
