Giving Back to Our Community: January Donations Benefit Betty Chinn's Mission

At The Ganjery, being part of the Humboldt County community means more than just serving our customers, it means giving back to the neighbors who need our support most. That's why we're thrilled to partner with the Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation as our nonprofit donation recipient.

When you shop with us this month, you'll have the opportunity to donate your cash change to support Betty's incredible mission: honoring all of humanity by providing direct responses to immediate needs and helping the homeless achieve the dignity needed to return to society as contributing members.

A Mission Born from Compassion

If you're not familiar with Betty Chinn's work, prepare to be inspired. Betty's passion for helping the homeless stems from her own childhood experience of homelessness during Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution. After enduring four years on the streets and eventually finding freedom, Betty has dedicated her life to showing kindness, compassion, and ensuring that every person knows they matter.

Betty's philosophy is simple but powerful: every person deserves the opportunity to change their life, every person has a unique path, and every person should be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. From shelter to showers, Betty serves Humboldt in unique and important ways.

Throughout January, customers of The Ganjery can donate their change to directly support Betty’s life-changing program. We'll be collecting the donations and presenting them to Betty in early February, and we can't wait to see the impact our community can make together.

Thank you for helping us support this vital local organization. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors who need it most.
