At ORISON, we believe in the power of community and the impact of giving back. Over the past two months, we embarked on a heartfelt mission to support the homeless population of Corpus Christi, Texas. Our goal for March and April was profound yet straightforward: for every Orison T-shirt purchased, we would donate one to someone in need.
The Growing Crisis of Homelessness
2024 saw a significant increase in the homeless population in Corpus Christi, primarily due to the rising cost of living. Many individuals and families found themselves without a place to call home, facing daily struggles that many of us can scarcely imagine. This surge in homelessness called for immediate and compassionate action.

As the cost of living continues to climb, it is crucial to acknowledge the impact this has on our fellow community members. With affordable housing becoming a distant dream for many, the urgency to act becomes even more significant. The rising rents and increasing utility bills have left families vulnerable, often spiraling into homelessness with little to no warning.
Launching the 'Buy One, Give One' Initiative
In response to this pressing issue, we launched the 'Buy One, Give One' initiative. For every T-shirt purchased from ORISON, we pledged to donate a new T-shirt to the homeless population of Corpus Christi, Texas.

The excitement and generosity from our customers gave us strength. With each T-shirt sold, the number of people we could help grew. This initiative highlighted how collective efforts can create change, no matter how small. Our mission aimed not only to provide clothing but also to convey a message of solidarity and compassion to those who feel forgotten.
The Impact of Your Support
Thanks to your incredible support, we will distribute T-shirts and other items at a local shelter this week to those in need. Each T-shirt represents more than just clothing; it symbolizes hope, dignity, and the knowledge that someone cares.

Continuing Our Commitment
While this mission has come to a close, we will continue seeking ways to give back and positively impact.
Our customers can expect more initiatives in the future. Stay tuned for upcoming projects that will allow you to join us in our mission again.
