Everyone deserves a safe place during the holidays. That’s why this December, Vionic Supports has chosen to give back to two Bay Area organizations that aim to help victims of domestic violence by providing healthy, secure environments in which to heal and receive support. “It feels good to help someone who has found a place that’s safe, where they feel secure. We tried to make things a little better for them over the holidays,” says Gurpreet Kalra, Vionic’s web developer. La Casa de Las Madres in San Francisco and The Center for Domestic Peace in San Rafael received 180 gift boxes for women in their permanent residence facilities. Vionic employees packed and transported the boxes to the centers, each filled with Vionic slippers as well as gifts from partner retailers EO products, Callina apparel and Burt’s Bees. Employees also came together to donate toys, clothing, bedding, toiletries and more for the families. “I hope that our donation helps in some small way in supporting the women during a very traumatic time in their lives,” says Vionic’s CEO and President, Chris Gallagher. “While our gift to them is simple, it proves to be meaningful as well. We don’t ask for recognition; the fact that we’re able to help keeps the whole Vionic team happy and drives us to keep creating life-changing footwear.”
