EcoShip NFP

What an incredible year. We kept over 47,000 gallons of packaging out of landfills and donated it to 462 small businesses, teachers, artists, and individuals for reuse. Collectively, they saved over $21,000! We look forward to even more growth in 2025.

🎁 Each year, LAS is fortunate to turn our office into Santa's Workshop and put on our Holiday Gift Program. Sponsored by generous donors and with some wrapping help from the elves, the Gift Program enables the children of clients we serve and our senior clients to receive some holiday cheer! 🎄 This year we were also supported by EcoShip NFP with a wonderful contribution of gift wrap to make the presents extra special. Thank you! ⛄

The evening at our annual fundraiser was filled with so much love and support from our community. We’re beyond grateful. Huge thanks to our Gold ticket holders, our drawing donors, Revolution Brewing for donating their space, Blue Plate Catering and Smoque BBQ for donating food, and to our volunteers for helping throughout the event 💚 We couldn’t have done it without you.

Less than 2 weeks to go! We hope to see you there. See our first ever art competition where local artists explore the theme Earth vs. Plastic. Enjoy bites from Blue Plate Catering and Smoque BBQ and brews from Revolution Brewing. And most importantly, support the tremendous work that EcoShip does in our community. Tickets are now available - both in-person and virtual. https://lnkd.in/grFMrDPj

Join us for an evening of bites & brews, an art competition, and chance-to-win drawings, all to support our project. We look forward to seeing you on September 7th at Revolution Brewing! This year, we are excited to offer a virtual ticket for individuals who can’t make it in person, but would still like to support. https://lnkd.in/gHWhrEuc

We’re so grateful for businesses such as Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams for giving back to local communities. They make fundraising accessible, easy, and FUN!

Grateful to the folks at Baker Tilly US for having us at their Stewardship Week! They sorted 88 pounds of mailers which will be distributed to businesses for reuse.

Our team headed over to Wintrust Arena to pick up boxes from Cradles to Crayons Chicago after their Backpack-A-Thon. We’ll be able to provide these boxes to local businesses and individuals for reuse!

Huge thanks to 350 Chicago for volunteering with us!

We are excited to announce our first ever art competition! Over the past couple years, we have seen some phenomenal pieces made using packaging materials so we have decided to invite local artists to show us what they can do. Applications open July 27th. For more details: https://lnkd.in/dixfhSRv
