Paying It forward in November

Hi friends, Last month, hurricane Matthew caused enough flooding and hurricane damage that NASA said the damage itself can be seen from space.

Luckily, while most eyes were glued to the Trump vs Clinton pre-election drama, a bunch of brave volunteers left the comfort of their homes to offer a helping hand… and while most of us are not prepared to go to such lengths, there are other *less messy* ways to support the victims in rebuilding their homes and schools.

Our partners are local experts and they're some of the hardest working people we know. With they're help and your support, we are rebuilding the community.

Okay, so here’s some Good news

Creative Market has teamed up with All Hands Volunteers in November to bring you Pay It Forward 2016.

Throughout the month of November, more than 200 Creative Market shop owners (including me) are donating a portion of their earnings to All Hands Volunteers, a non-profit organization that addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. To top it all, Creative Market will be giving an additional donation of $20,000 towards All Hands Volunteers.

Please help us in supporting them by purchasing some great design assets in November. You’ll be giving back to the communities who really need a helping hand right now. Together, we can make a difference.

Work on the school in Port-Salut continues as the affected communities find recovery. For over 100,000 children in Haiti, education has been disrupted because of #HurricaneMatthew.
