COMMUNITY OUTREACH
RAISING FUNDS
In August of 2022, Tie-Up Textiles collaborated with local retailer, worKS Kennett Square for the annual “Dog Days of Summer” fundraiser. Through our sales of handmade tea towels and pet portraits, we raised $1,000 in donations on behalf of the Brandywine Valley SPCA. In addition, physical donations were also collected for the animals in their care. These donations included items like toys and treats for enrichment, as well as towels for daily use.
BVSPCA is recognized as Pennsylvania and Delaware's first no-kill open-admission shelter, caring for 18,000+ animals annually. With founder Kathleen's beloved dog, Tamatoa, being a BVSPCA alum, this effort was very near and dear to our hearts.

COMMUNITY CLEANUPS
With much of our process having a strong focus on sustainability, in 2022, we began shifting our business model towards an all-around green effort. For the past three years, we have participated in several community cleanups in northeast Maryland, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware. Through each cleanup, we have assisted in removing litter and other hazardous materials harmful to the environment and surrounding ecosystems, as well as the community’s overall health. We are proud to have partnered with The High 5 Initiative and the Brandywine Conservancy on these movements, as well as our cleanups when hiking trails at some of our favorite state parks. We believe that change is most felt when local communities come together and advocate for the natural lands all living creatures call home.
