Charity of the Month: Zen Hospice
For Goodness Sake is constantly striving to highlight
organizations and companies that are doing good in our community. We are excited to kick off the fall with our
first featured Charity of the Month— Zen Hospice Project.
Since 1987, Zen Hospice Project has developed groundbreaking
programs and services to bring mindfulness and compassionate care to the dying,
their caregivers, and the bereaved. Through a range of services that include
direct care at their Guest House, educational programs and inspirational
support, they have served more than 31,000 people. Their primary geographic
focus is the Bay Area but their impact and models have national and
international relevance:
“Our mission is to help change the experience
of dying. We create a space for living that offers the opportunity for
individuals, their loved ones and caregivers to find comfort, connection and
healing in this shared human experience. Through our pioneering model of care,
we inspire each other to live fully.”

For Goodness Sake is proud to support such an innovative
organization that brings compassion, love, and support to those in need in our
community. Through partnerships with TED
Talks and IDEO, Zen Hospice is on the frontier of changing the way people think
and talk about terminal illness.
In honor of their upcoming event, Story + Spirit on October
7th at the Terra Gallery in San Francisco, For Goodness Sake is donating 25% of every purchase of our travel wraps to Zen Hospice Project for
the month of September. These stunning
wraps are hand made in Ecuador out of a soft, comfortable fabric that’s machine
washable and available in gorgeous, subtle colors. A great travel accessory for
wherever your spirit takes you.
