Sunshine (Pay) It Forward

Ship Sunshine is committed to spreading sunshine – particularly to people and organizations that may need a little extra help. Our #SunshineItForward program gathers supplies for schools and the homeless, as well as raises funds for key causes each month. This program is funded by a minimum of 2% of Ship Sunshine’s profits and your donations. Please note that donations are not currently tax deductible.

Here are some ways you can help:

Drop off donations at one of our Sunshine Spots in Denver, CO. Click here to learn about the items we’re collecting for those in need.
Browse our Amazon.com list of supplies. Your order will ship directly to us to distribute to those in need.
Or, add an extra $5 to your order to go directly to the homeless, students/teachers, or cause of the month!

Show A Little Love Period Kits — Donate a Box of Sunshine – Period Kits
$5.00

You could literally tripple your donation because both Ship Sunshine and Roberta’s Chocolates are matching up to $1k this month! This is an easy way to give back and provide a basic kit of period essentials. 100% of this donation goes towards supporting people who need sanitary supplies.

What struck us about the organization Period Kits is the founders’ story about how she was homeless and remembers going to the grocery store and having to decide whether to buy food or period supplies. No one should have to make that choice so we’re proud to support the nonprofit Period Kits.
