Well, it’s been two weeks since our country has been in lockdown mode as we attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19. This is a scary and uncertain time, and we are all doing our best to adapt to life indoors. There is not a single industry or individual that has not been affected by this pandemic. However, the most vulnerable among us, need a helping hand now, more than ever.

Couture Collective considers community in everything we do. In fact, we founded our company with the goal of supporting local nonprofits, who provide services and goods to the most vulnerable in our OKC community. You may already be aware, but each month we choose a different nonprofit who will receive a percentage of proceeds from every single sale. During this truly unprecedented time, it just hasn’t felt right in our hearts to promote our products with so many facing unemployment. I know we are not alone in this feeling of moral dilemma as we try to navigate these uncharted waters. Although, with that being said we are still a small business and need to generate revenue to be able to operate.

For the foreseeable future, we have decided that we will not be selecting a monthly organization to donate to, but rather we will set aside those funds from our sales and hold in escrow. The money raised will go directly towards local COVID-19 relief funds to address the needs of individuals experiencing hardships. In the meantime, if you would like to donate directly to a response fund, please consider giving to the United Way of Central Oklahoma COVID-19 Fund. If you are unable to donate financially, consider giving blood to the American Red Cross. Social distancing does not have to mean social disengagement.

Stay indoors, stay safe and let’s support one another!

XO,
Christy & Cortney
