As a socially conscious brand, BRAID strives to always put people first. When you purchase a BRAID product, you are doing so much more than buying into natural beauty and wellness; you become an agent of change. We believe in the power of serving others, so for every product sold, BRAID gives to life changing supplies, mentorship and aid for homeless children through Hope Supply Co. We want to share how your contribution to BRAID also betters the lives of the underprivileged youth in Dallas.
WHO THEY ARE:
- Hope Supply Co. has been serving the homeless for over 25 years. Their mission is to meet the critical needs of homeless children in North Texas. Every night, more than 1,100 children fall asleep in a homeless shelter, car, or other places not fit for human habitation. These are the hidden homeless and many people are not aware of the enormous and growing problem of child homelessness in our great state. These children are experiencing homelessness through no fault of their own. Their circumstances rob them of the ability to experience the childhood that all children deserve.

WHAT THEY PROVIDE:
- Diapers

- Hygiene Items
- School Uniforms
- School Supplies
- Baby Formula
- Clothing
