I strongly believe it is our responsibility to work to help bring about positive change in our communities. It has been an aim of mine to use my platform and privilege to be more outspoken & take action on issues that I strongly believe in. As the sole-proprietor of Long Dog Yarn, my ideals are the company's ideals. Each dollar spent at Long Dog Yarn not only supports me & my family, but also serves as an opportunity for me to support local and national organizations that work to enact the change I hope to see in the world.
With the aim of full transparency, below you will find a list of organizations I have financially supported since 2019. I would be delighted if you take time to learn more about each of these organizations and the work they do, and, if you are able, make a donation.

Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank
The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank's mission is to feed the hungry in Baton Rouge and the surrounding parishes by providing food and educational outreach through faith-based and other community partners.
Reclaim the Block
Reclaim the Block began in 2018 and organizes Minneapolis community and city council members to move money from the police department into other areas of the city’s budget that truly promote community health and safety. We believe health, safety and resiliency exist without police of any kind. We organize around policies that strengthen community-led safety initiatives and reduce reliance on police departments. We do not believe that increased regulation of or public engagement with the police will lead to safer communities, as community testimony and documented police conduct suggest otherwise.
