LA Workin': Our Community Service Involvement & How You Can Volunteer


bgreen is excited to announce that we have teamed up with LA WORKS as their official apparel sponsor to raise funds for their projects. L.A. Works is a 501(c)3 nonprofit volunteer action center that creates and implements hands-on community service projects - like painting murals,  planting gardens, and restoring buildings -  throughout the greater Los Angeles area. They empower Angelinos to address pressing social issues through volunteerism and community collaborations. LA Works offers individuals and organizations opportunities for volunteering that improves our communities and impacts it in a positive way.


In the next few weeks, you will have a chance to buy custom designed organic cotton Tees available on Fashion For Causes section of our website. All the proceeds from the sale of these shirts will be donated to LA WORKS. It is a great shirt for a great cause, buy one and make a difference.



Speaking of community service, join us and thousands of volunteers on Saturday July 30th for a large scale project in Leimert Park Village to support the community’s efforts to make this hidden landmark an incubator for the continued development and preservation of African American art, culture, entrepreneurship and economic development in Los Angeles. Leimert Park has monthly Arts Walk and a homegrown music and arts festival each summer, this underserved community is working to become a hip LA destination, and the upcoming community event aims to give it the extra boost that it needs. bgreen will provide organic cotton tees for the volunteers and volunteer-leaders.
